GPS

GPS

It’s a very geeky GPS device, while the missus was buying the latest round of walking gear I stumbled across it and found myself compelled to take it the checkout. It is quite cool as it allows me to record things like this:

A nice morning ‘hangover run’ during the fairly messy A-Life conference. So expect a few more gps routes when I put in decent peak district rides.

Well I took a week off to celebrate my little sisters b’day and graduation and my cunning plan of fixing up her bike and taking it for a ride was cruelly thwarted by a bunch of chavs who’d stripped it for parts! Not to be outdone I decided to put in a few runs instead so first of all I ran up Consti hill a decent 6k from Tessa’s house. It was a beautiful day and looking out over the bay reminded me why I like Aber so much.

Back in Symonds Yat I took the dog for a few runs and scoped out a few forest routes to the pub for the forthcoming go ape weekend. :)
