List of Posts

This is a chronological list of the posts I have done on this blog since starting it.

For each map post, I list both the date of my visit to the map which the post primarily concern, and the date on which I published the post. (For multi-day visits, the first day is the one that counts.) Cases of multiple maps that I visited on trips away from home which have some kind of identity as one long trip are grouped with a heading.

  • If you would prefer a list ordered by map area featured, go to The Maps (Current progress), which is where I keep track of how I’m doing on my goal of visiting every Ordnance Survey Explorer map area in Great Britain.
  • I also have an Index of Pre-Blog Trips, which lets you see the trips in my past that I’ve talked about in the Previous Visits section of blog posts in chronological order. I will often talk about just a little bit of a past trip, i.e., the bit that happened in that map area, and the Index lets you connect up the different posts in which such past trips are described.
