The tagging game: 7 facts about me

Been tagged by Ollie Bray for a blogging 'game'.

The aim is to tell people "seven things you didn't know about me"

So, in the hope that anyone finds this interesting...

1. I am very myopic. Take my glasses off me and I'm like a mole in a bokeh existence. (That's not an invitation...)

2. I used to do quite a lot of climbing before I had kids and realised that I'd been taking a few risks. If you look carefully on the image below you can see me en route to the classic Cioch

 on the Isle of Skye, which I reached, along with the Inaccessible Pinnacle. Along with a few

 friends, we formed the BOILED ONIONS CLIMBING CLUB, which completed a lot of routes in Wales, The Peak District and on Skye. I used to be quite good...

3. I'm a bit sad about clipping geography stories out of newspapers and keeping them. I left 14 bulging lever arch files of newspaper stories behind when I started my new job, and they're probably in a skip now...

4. I've only ever owned Citroen cars. Over the last 20 odd years I've had 3 BXs, 1 AX, 3 Xantias and my current C3 (which is currently very Shiny having had a Shiny hand car wash) 

5. I was the school Scrabble champion.

6. I own and use a sat nav.

7. I broke my left arm when I was 10 years old by falling out of a tree. It hurt....

Who to tag ?

I'll go for 7 other people who have geography blogs (and who may also have a spare 10 minutes in the next week or so - apologies if you've already been tagged, and unlike those old chain letters, don't feel obliged to do this - nothing bad will happen if you don't...)
