Fun Talk last night was by David Stillwell a Cambridge University Lecturer in Big Data Analytics & Quantitative Social Science and Academic Director of the Psychometrics Centre. Even though it did cost £5 for entry as it was put on by CSAR. Once again I forgot to take my phone so no images of his […]
Having been riding with the Cambridge CTC for the past 10 months I thought it was now time to try my hand at being a Group Leader on one of their City Thursday rides. First thing I had to learn was that it’s the leader job to work out a route between the previously designated […]
Sally bought me a Oregon WMR88 weather station with anemometer, wind direction, outside temperature and rainfall gauges. I’ve finally have it working with the Asus Eee running XP Pro in its 8GB of memory and uploading the data through my WiFi to Wunderground. Giving the lovely chart above. Next job is to mount the anemometer onto the […]
Todays little walk was with the B team of The Cambridge Rambling Club, ably led by John, we set of from Great Shelford and ventured across to Haslingfield. We did quite a bit of road walking which with the mud and ice was probably just as well. Our lunchtime drink was at the Little Rose […]
What better after an invigorating walk than a relaxing Swedish Massage in the comfort of your own home, here in Cambridge, so many thanks to Sally for mine tonight. If you want to book a Swedish or Indian Head Massage then head over to Sally’s webpage and give her a call – she is in […]
Today’s Cambridge Rambling Clubs “A” team walk should have been led by Larry unfortunately he was indisposed so Jill took over at the last minute, hence the couple of blips on the GPS trail! The walk was designed as a figure of eight with Ickworth Hall in the centre, acting as a rendezvous point for […]
Today’s Cambridge Rambling Clubs ‘A’ team walk was led by Rita. Nine of us set off from Waterbeach village green heading for Anglesey abbey via Lode. At last its warming up and the ground is drying out with a few buds beginning to form on the hedgerows. Vast hordes of people had descended on Anglesey […]
Boer War Gun at Gun Green Originally uploaded by geofones A lovely bit of local history detail that Alan Brigham dug up from Mike Petty after Alan visited my flickr set of Old Cambridge postcards. (The Boer war ended in 1902) Its such a great pity that all the newspapers archives are not online and […]
Just back from the inaugural OpenCoffee meet up in Cambridge, UK. Organised by Jed. The event was in Cafe Nero on Kings Parade in Cambridge. A total of about 20 folks (Only two from the fairer sex, Juliette and ? Laura where did you get too!) turned up. I was, of cause, easily the oldest […]
Whilst in Les Gets I learnt from Thierry that icicles are a sign of a poor roof or defective guttering. Today, Sally spotted this on MY house here in Cambridge. Oh dear, really don’t fancy clambering up a three extension ladder 40 feet and fixing this 🙁 I guess it’s not in the same league […]
