Looking to make the outdoors for everyone as director of Ramblers Scotland but these are personal views. Expect pics of walks, posts on politics/world news, risidual overseas aid and guest appearances by a small hairy murderer named Pixie.
I'm not a digital specialist but I'd put money on '2' based on my experience as a charity comms manager. Good enough for things that aren't particularly sensitive but here - holy shit. 'What CMS' says Wordpress for OBR website, for what that's worth

Susanna Clarke's civilization would focus on magical kingdoms and would constantly be disappearing down entertaining rabbit holes with no direct relevance to the central narrative

Noel Clarke's civilization could be a unflinching expose of the systematic sexual violence & exploitation on which almost all empires are built. Noel's primary role as presenter would be to shut up and listen.

A classic situation where a generalist journo is writing about something they know nothing about - the problem is not just that they don't know things, it's that they're constantly tripping over the things they don't know that they don't know

The name is sometimes translated as 'cloud peicer' 2) a bit niche maybe but you can't 'hike' Aoraki, FFS, it's a serious alpine climb, if you need a synonym for climbing try 'mountaineering'
