Mission 101 begins
Today I begin Mission 101 aka Day Zero Project. Over the next 1001 days I will be aiming to complete a list of 101 things that I have been deliberating over ever since @101ofawolf gave a presentation on this at Barcamp Bradford. I’m still not completely happy with my list, having removed an awful lot of stuff to get it down to size, but today is the day I’d been aiming to start on and so I’m rolling with it.
This morning I left the house with the aim of making a start on #76 – “visit 5 new parks”. On the way I passed some new apartments which, although inconveniently located and overpriced, I had a look at and so began #7 – “move house”. It’s still going to be many months before I can actually move – but it’s good to be thinking about it early.
It turns out that the new park I was aiming for, Northcliffe, is far more than just the little park it looks like from the main road. It’s a beautiful wooded valley, a meadow with views over the Aire Valley, and there is a miniature railway there. I think it’s big enough to count as countryside, so I’m working towards #74 – “Visit the countryside every week for two months”. I failed to find the rumoured caves, but otherwise thoroughly enjoyed a beautiful hidden place which is just a mile from home.
I’ve a feeling this is going to be a good year.
