Past Activity
2012
- 2012-03-07 53 -2: Daresbury, just down from the Ring O' Bells - anyone fancy a pint? (I'm new to this.)
- 2012-03-06 53 -2: Reached by Alexturgid and Tekwyzard at 2023 BST (map).
- 2012-01-03 53 -2: In the middle of Preston, just down the hill from the station ... surely someone can get there today. I've got photos taken yesterday for the G+LeapYearDayProject with EXIF lat/long putting me there, but unfortunately I was on my way to catch a train at the time, so can't head back today. Now trying for a Puppetmaster, in the hope that'll let me claim Deja Vu as well. -- Angel 07:31, 1 March 2012 (EST)
