After a substantial break from blogging due to a combination of laziness and being away on field trips I have something of a backlog of posts and photos to put up. The first batch of which are from our 3rd year field trip to Ardnamurchan.
The field trip consisted of 5 days of mapping the slopes [...]
On Saturday just past I popped over to Edinburgh for my once-every-two-or-so-months-sometimes-longer catch up with Jono. Since the weather was fairly nice, and it’s always good to do something a bit different beyond just get lunch or a coffee, we decided that we would go up Arthur’s Seat. Katie was also in town to visit [...]
I’ve got a fair few field trips coming up in the next few months which I’ll probably put posts up for, so here’s a bit of a preview of what’s coming up in the year ahead.
AGU attendees! Just a quick note to encourage you to check out the poster session on the morning of Friday the 18th.

Once again, I’ve left things rather a long time between posts. Mostly due to travelling over a thousand miles over the last couple of weeks, but also getting back to work as an Apple Campus Rep now that university is starting back up.
So here’s what I’ve been up to:
About 3 weeks ago now I took another trip down to the Borders (mostly because I had a dentist appointment, and am still registered down there). In any case, while I was there I figured I might as well spend the last few sunny days of the summer out in the field.
Originally the plan was [...]
Previously: Field Trip Music
Our recent trip to Girvan meant driving for at least a couple of hours. And y’all know what that means: new field trip mixtapes.
Geotrip Disc 3: Nerdcore Special
This Disc is comprised of my favourite Nerdcore tracks. Unfortunately everyone else was less of a fan. Went down well at game night though.
