A day out with Daughterus Minimus around the very pleasant little villages of Alconbury, Alconbury Weston and Coppingford.

FF40 is a series of puzzles near to Rotherfield Peppard, down in the south-east corner of Oxfordshire and not far north of Reading.

I took the day off work, in part because I needed a bit of a break and in part because there was a much talked about solar eclipse in prospect in the middle of the morning.

The day began with an event in Leighton Buzzard to celebrate “Pi Day” and finished with a very long walk over the chalk downs to the west of Dunstable.

Two sections of the MKBW still to complete – Green and Indigo. By “complete”, I mean “do just enough to get the bonus”, I don’t mean “do all of them”.

A day out with Daughterus Minimus tramping across the muddy fields of west Cambridgeshire looking for bits of tupperware.

You can’t beat a Church Micro or several, especially on a bright, sunny day in January.

It was a very grey, dank, and pretty miserable kind of a day, but Ami and me had decided we were off out for a bit of box hunting regardless.

A pre-birthday afternoon out in the car whilst up at my folks’ near Measham, finding a few local church micros.

The Woolley Mammoth. A series near Huntingdon passing through the village of Woolley, hence the name.
