The most fun Ive had in a long time [Perfect score on Timeguessr using Google] GeoWizard 2024-09-14 | (Geography based fun that is)Today I attempt to get a perfect score on TimeGuessr, but this time with a twist. It's the game where you have to figure out when AND where iconic or interesting photographs were taken, a tall order when you have no frame of reference. But what if I were to open Google in another tab? Some of you said it would still be too hard, but I like a challenge. It took me a little while to get to grips with this, but after a handful of attempts I got a seed that was absolutely perfect for this new way of playing. The result was an enthralling game jam packed with juicy geo detective work, but would I get the elusive 50,000?HAVE A GO YOURSELF BEFORE I DO: timeguessr.com/roundone?RA=db9f219d7429a5f1150cb8a208c85d29d83292415e805351c19f7fa57d527061:bff3e317a6b3b3b6acfc800f8121bc5e

I accidentally smashed my high score on TimeGuessr GeoWizard 2024-08-25 | This week we indulge in a relaxing game of TimeGuessr; the game where you have to figure out when AND where iconic or interesting photographs were taken. With an ambitious Geodetective video in the pipeline taking up most of my work hours, this one was meant to be a fairly chilled, non competitive affair, and it was, but right at the end of the vid, I realised something... ***Totally forgot you guys could have played along! apologies - the button is right at the end and I was distracted.

Standing between me and the German capital was over almost 700 miles of tarmac, the English channel and the nation we had just knocked out in the semis, and realistically I had 36 hours to somehow get through it all using nothing but cardboard signs and the three lions on my chest.

Can I complete my most epic mission to date? or will a hunting party end it.. [ENGLAND PART 6] GeoWizard 2024-07-07 | This gargantuan adventure reaches its climax 19 miles from the North Sea coast, and as if this mammoth 5th day hadn’t tested me enough, I was now perched on the edge of a private hunting estate watching men furiously wave flags on my line to the soundtrack of multiple shotgun blasts. With plenty of farmland and another terrible forest beyond that, this mission was far from over. Will I make it through and become the first person ever to cross England in a straight line?

The most ambitious (and stupidest) day Ive ever attempted [ENGLAND PART 5] GeoWizard 2024-06-30 | We're into day 4 of my most epic mission to date and having almost escaped the damp twangy clutches of Kielder forest, I now had the opportunity to deliver myself 12 miles from the coast in one fell swoop. 21 miles of more rugged mountains and forests would be a huge physical endeavor in it's own right, but it also happened to be bookmarked by a private and very active hunting estate, and a gigantic military firing range apparently littered with unexploded shells.

Will I make it through this infuriatingly dense forest before dark? [ENGLAND PART 4] GeoWizard 2024-06-16 | Day 3 of my most odds defying mission to date is under way and massive lake crossing aside it's a case of rinse and repeat; 11 more miles of dense, tormenting pine plantations to be completed before the disastrous descent of darkness. This time we do have more moorland to break things up along with better weather, but the trees, both vertical and horizontal, would do their very best to slow me down and drive me insane. *Next weekend will be a break weekend.

The most brutal day of missioning on record [ENGLAND PART 3] GeoWizard 2024-06-09 | My most ambitious adventure to date continues and it's out of the farmland of Day 1 and into the remote, rugged forests and hills of Day 2 and beyond. 10 miles of pretty much solid pine plantations was the impossibly tall order of the day, and with utterly miserably freezing weather, I was guaranteed to be pushed to my physical and mental limit.

My Toughest Challenge Yet.. Attempting to Locate This 1920s Travellers Photograph. GeoWizard 2023-09-29 | Geo Detective is back and it is most certainly with a bang.
