I’m going to be honest here and say I got this one pretty wrong. Looking at Google Earth, Big Monks is about 1.7 km from the access road (which I got right), what I failed to notice is that it is super steep and that much of the walk is off the trail. So… A…
Cooleman and Arawang Trigs
Doug and I went out to walk Doug’s dog at short notice yesterday evening, and managed to sneak in two trigs while we were at it. A nice walk, although it took longer than I expected it to, with our average speed only being about 3.5 kilometers an hour. I wonder how much of that…
First jog, and a walk to Los Altos
Today was a busy day, not only did I foolishly go for a jog 5 minutes after sunrise… …but then I went for a walk with James in the afternoon as well. Let’s just say my fitbit is very impressed with me.
A walk in the San Mateo historic red woods
James, Tony and I went for a little post long haul flight walk this afternoon in some red woods. Very nice.
Harcourt and Rogers Trigs
I needed to visit someone in deepest darkest North Canberra yesterday, and there was an hour to kill between that meeting and the local Linux User’s Group meeting. It seemed silly to have driven all that way and to not see a couple of trigs, so I visited these two. Both these trigs were easy…
Another lunch time walk
My arm still hurts, so no gym again. Instead, another lunch time walk although this one was shorter. The skies were dramatic, but no rain unfortunately. I found GC1DEFB during this walk. This walk appears in Walking Canberra by Graeme Barrow although I found it separately. The description in the book is accurate and helpful…
Lunchtime geocaching
Woke up this morning with a sore left arm, which ruled out going to the gym. Instead, I decided to go for a geocaching walk at lunch time. I found these caches: GC235FM; GC56N78; GC5B9WT; GC5F6G3; and GC5F0PE. A nice walk. This walk appears in Walking Canberra by Graeme Barrow although I found it separately….
Darts Cabinet
My most recent project is a cabinet for a darts board. This is based on a project in Australian Woodsmith. I tweaked the design along the way though because I wanted something more modern and some of the rigidity elements didn’t seem to be required for strength. Here’s how it turned out: Which I…
Taylor Trig
At the top of Mount Taylor lies the first trig point defeated by a group walk I’ve been on. Steve * 3, Erin, Michael *2, Andrew, Cadell, Maddie, Mel, Neill and Jenny all made it to the top of this one, so I’m super proud of us as a group. A nice walk and Mount…
Another Nova spec update
I started chasing down the list of spec freeze exceptions that had been requested, and that resulted in the list of specs for Kilo being updated. That updated list is below, but I’ll do a separate post with the exception requests highlighted soon as well. API Add more detailed network information to the metadata server:…
