Today I got my first portal accepted by Ingress Operations. And what a nice portal it is. A very nice and rewarding stroll on the east coast of Jersey, then this portal is yours. Please treat it nicely! 🙂

Last time I mentioned Ingress I had not even started playing yet. Now I have found that adding some augmented reality to my walks works quite well. I do much more city walks now than I ever did before.

What team to join? That is all up to you. As long as you join the blue team… 😉

The Enlightened

The Resistance

What immediately stands out when you look at Paddy Dillon’s other books and other offerings from Cicerone are some Scottish islands that are known not only for walking, but also for other things starting with a W. This is something that is/was bound to end up on my schedule sooner or later, and I think this is the time to put it there. So there it is.

This summer I will revisit Guernsey, Sark and Herm and will as already seen below visit Alderney for the first time. As I was far from happy with Geoff Daniel’s Guernsey walking guide published by Sunflower last year I will be using a different book this time, Cicerone’s Walking on Guernsey, written by Paddy Dillon. Dillon is a very well respected author and guide, and some claim he is even the best. I have never used any of his books myself, but if this turns out well I suspect there might be many more trips to The British Isles and other areas using his books.

I have added a Cruz de Tejeda section to the Gran Canaria page.

Spent Christmas in Gran Canaria, pictures from my walks etc can be found at http://www.islandwalking.com/piwigo/index.php?/category/110.
