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 […]
A thought occurred to me after reading this Twitter from Mark Littlewood. What if Cambridge based Plastic Logic’s new screen is going to be the display for the often rumoured Apple Tablet? With investors pumping 250 million dollars or so it would seem to me that they might have a big company ready to start […]
Our friend Ellee has just done a great blog post on The Wonders of Walking. Tis a pity she wasn’t with us today as Sally and I had a beautiful walk with the Cambridge Rambling Club. The leaders for today should have been Margaret & Larry. However, due to the icy road conditions and because […]
Here’s a new test of your internet connection that measures things like packet loss, ping times and jitter. My BT connection gets a B grade, a bit like me at secondary modern school!

Its good to see that companies like BT are using […]
After the recent walk where my Scarpa ZG65 XCR boots let me down by leaking, after a morning walking in heavy rain. I returned them to Open Air who agreed they were faulty and supplied me free of charge with a new pair. I thought I would be smart and test the new boots before […]
The Cambridge Primark opens tomorrow in Burleigh Street (the revamped John Lewis building ). To promote the opening of Primark they used today ten walking billboards as part of a targeted marketing campaign from Look Media UK. I thought it was highly effective and looked rather cool. From Primark in Cambridge Here is a little […]
Yesterdays walk with the Cambridge Rambling Club was a good test for our foul weather gear, mine failed abysmally 🙁 We 11 started from St Mary’s Church car park at Rougham, in very wet and windy conditions, so it was heads down for the first 9 miles to Bradfield St Clare and a spot of […]
