On Friday I headed along to this Months Critical Mass. It was very strange that the Police weren’t there at all to do the corking of the junctions, and hold back any frustrated drivers.

Tomorrow is the 18th Mapping party of the London Mapping Marathon. It will be held around Euston Station, meeting up… Continue reading Back to the Start

I did get some coding and catching up done on the train and ferry. I found it interesting that Virgin Trains run electric to… Continue reading Dragheda Mapping Party Review
