Today’s (great) odd numbers are 273 and 99. That’s 273 consecutive days running, 99 to get my three-day 2015/2017 overlaps, 96 to complete the calendar leap year of 2016 and 93 for the year from my start date, so sub-100 no matter how you look at it! :-)

Two-thirds streak
When you like balanced, even numbers, 248 and 124 has to be the best pair yet! :-)

Something potentially huge for this area, so please try to get to one of the meetings, folks! (more…)

Half streak
(3 + 366 + 3) รท 2 = 186 = Friday 1 July, and still my extended ‘January’ plods on! I’ve been faster, fitter, lighter and done more miles at other times, but running every day is a different challenge…

Petestack for narrower screens
[Update: 19 May 2016]
Have to say some of what’s below already smacks slightly of ‘false dawn’, but hopefully cracked it now through a combination of further reading, real-life phone feedback/screenshots and Chrome Developer Tools as apparently the only mobile phone emulator I can trust. So now we’ve got the meta viewport tag, HTML5 replacing XHTML everywhere except the blog (apparently some work to do on validation there), some more thoughtfully-tweaked ‘break points’ in line with what I’ve learned and seen, and things looking/working much better?

Short Trail Routes from Kinlochleven

Something I got absorbed in making for outdoor education and thought might sit well on my website!

Running streak
Some people might get it and some might not (the clue’s in the title above) but, copied straight from tonight’s Facebook post:
(3 + 366 + 3) / 3 = 124 = Saturday 30 April… so, yeah, this has maybe got beyond just ‘finishing January’ (2016) now?
Strangely I need one more day (Sunday 1 May tomorrow) to complete one third of the calendar leap year despite already being over that third of the way counting the last three days of December 2016. But might consider a complete non-running (sometimes called ‘rest’) day on or soon after 4 January 2017 if I get that far! ;-)

Fly has windows!
Twig came up today to fit Fly’s new windows. So my once-beautiful boat’s looking that bit more wholesome again and, while we’ve still got a troublesome cockpit leak to pinpoint (mainsheet track?) and stop before we can start working seriously in the cabin, the hated tarp’s off and I can see a recognisable (if still somewhat filthy) Impala almost smiling back! :-) (more…)

Wrong side of Resipol
Seduced by a fine forecast on Sunday, I headed for Beinn Resipol above Loch Sunart anticipating (to quote the SMC Corbetts guide) ‘one of the finest views along the West Highland Coastline’. And the hills certainly looked great as I left the house, but things were already changing as I hit the Corran Ferry with my peak subsequently disappearing almost as I left the van to leave a day of clag and intermittent drizzle/snow showers. So I never even saw the mountain properly, let alone the famous views… (more…)

Circling with Lucy
Stob Coire a’ Chearcaill is a curiously-named peak because the corrie from which it takes its name is not especially circular. But then we never saw a yew on the subsidiary top of Sgurr an Iubhair either… (more…)
