Received delivery of some shiny new geocoins today. They are to celebrate the fact that one can go geocaching for 366 days this year! Lots of people are happy that they are going to complete their caching calendars with this final date next week

My friend Paul is going to attempt the fastest vertical Km record on 1st March and try to get into the Guinness Book of Records. He is going to do this by running up the stairs at London's Tower 42 no less than 9 times! Today, he had persuaded Tesco's to let him do some training in their store, so here he is climbing the down escalator. He did this for 65 minutes and bagged a vertical Km, but will have to go a bit faster on the day, but today was limited by the speed of the escalator. He is raising money for the homeless charity Shelter. For more info, click here

I don't normally go for irregular crops but this shape just worked best with my snowdrops. I wanted to keep the close up, crowded and intimate feel of the shot.
