2013: Our Geocaching In Numbers
I did say that I would produce some reviews of my year, and why not begin with the geocaches of 2013? Overall last year, we found 460 caches. Our biggest month for finds was August, during which 159 were found. We went out on 237 different days (64.7% of the year), finding an average of […]

Day 243: 1000 Finds!
OK, now I can stop wittering on about the countdown to 1000 finds, since the day has come to grab it. Here’s the log about the cache. We can’t quite recall when we first learnt about this cache, but it was a fair old while ago. 890 days ago, on 25th March 2011, we discovered […]

Day 242: Snap.
Today has closely followed the pattern of yesterday. Migraine. That’s all I need to say. I’ve spent the majority of the day asleep in one place or another, either on the sofa or in bed. I did a little bit of work too when my head wasn’t fuggy, but nothing spectacular. As a result I […]

Day 221: In A Bit Of A Rut
This holiday lark is becoming hard. But only because I’m beginning to start thinking about work again and probably a week too soon. The thing is, I’ve never really been very good at not having structure to my days – clearly work provides that. In fact a school day provides the perfect structure for me […]

Day 217: A Lazy Cache
I’m really settling into the holiday business. I’ve done absolutely nothing today. I actually feel a little bit of a fraud! I did make a checklist, with Mrs Pitts, of things we need to achieve by the end of the week. For some reason, my section is longer than hers. Of course, we found a […]

Day 210: Final Chesterness
Tomorrow sees us begin our short break away in Chester. The laptop will be coming with me, so blogging will still happen! In preparation for this trip – as with anywhere we end up going – caches are planned. We have a list of 72 different caches. 23 of them are puzzles, most of which […]
Infographics
Generation Stuck
Just over a year ago, I posted an infographic about the Millennials (link here). Now, this is a rare thing. I was contacted recently by Peter Kim – who I assume is behind this follow up infographic originally posted at AccreditedOnlineColleges.com. It focusses on the US, but actually, I feel that the majority of the information […]

Poor Neglected Blog…
To my blog, I have been thinking about you, I promise. But I also have been working harder than ever these past few months, buying a house, preparing for a new job and thinking about maths, some of these things simultaneously. I had no real time away this holiday – a few short and wonderful […]

Geocaching: Majestic Emley Moor
While out Geocaching yesterday, we completed a cache that asked us to visit the viewing area by the side of Emley Moor transmitting station. The tower, a symbol of Yorkshire and the tallest freestanding structure in the country at a height of 1,084 feet (330 m) and, at the time of writing, the 25th tallest tower in […]
