HealthFit app
I love the trail that the HealthFit App produces on the iPhone from my Workout app on the iWatch. This trail is from a 2km stroll along the sea front at Cesarea on our little car tour of Puglia

Whaley Bridge 147 years of floods!
Interesting to find a couple of old reports on ‘freak weather’ in Whaley Bridge 147 years ago. Whaley Bridge is mentioned twice in the flood chronologies for events in June 1872 and July 1881: On 19th [June 1872] the Goyt was 12 to 14 feet above its normal level. At Whaley Bridge houses near the […]
Geoff’s cycling map of the last 7 years
A lovely heatmap of my 800 cycling trips totalling over 40,000 miles since I joined Strava in July 2012 Clicking the map should let you zoom up and around.
Today’s reading rabbit holes..
Today’s reading rabbit hole which I disappeared into was driven by these articles all appearing in my Feedly : Cause of hardening of the arteries – and potential treatment – identified A subject close to my heart 🙂 with my elevated blood pressure and after my carotid-femoral pulse measurements from the last Quantified Self conference […]
Pretty gloomy news
Mortality rates are still rising in the UK – and everyone is ignoring how many more people are dying. Interestingly my age group is still doing OK as you can see from the above chart. As the article says: Warnings for the future Something is going very wrong. And whatever is going on is unique […]
A blast from my past!
Whilst searching on the AllTrails website I discovered this little blast from the past which I uploaded to EveryTrail in 2008. The original post came about when I discovered my 1956 YHA card. I then did a plot connecting up the Youth Hostels as much I could remember from when I was 8 years old. […]
Cluster analysis of my cycling speed versus distance
A very interesting, for me, cluster analysis of my cycling speed versus distance made using the Strava Wind Analysis website As you can see the shorter the distance ridden the slower I ride 🙁 Obviously when I’m touring on a loaded bike I ride much shorter distances. Interesting that my speed on Audaxes is always […]
Falling of a cliff!
Interesting to see the latest number of UK House sales plotted by Dougal as you can see quite a cliff edge. In May 2019 there were only 25,335 sales the previous lowest was in Feb 2009 with 28,507 sales. So this is the lowest monthly sales figures in at least 24 years! Will be very […]
Elevate your Strava
Using the excellent Chrome Elevate for Strava extension I have now produced this pretty chart. As you can see my cycling distance is now down 1,537 miles from the same date in 2018, meaning if I’m to do the same mileage as last year I have to now pedal 6,374 miles in the remaining 188 […]
Overview of our Camino Invierno walk
Finally 12 days after returning home from my Camino Invierno walk I’ve found a method of displaying all the sections where we walked on a zoomable embedded map 🙂 and amazingly also clearly showing all the bits we missed either intentionally or by error 🙁 The solution I found was to use the -umaps website […]
