This weekend, after a couple of days in Unstone near Sheffield, we head off to Orkney. Despite being born in Inverness, I have never been to Orkney and am huegley looking forward to the visit. The weather forecast is not good - windy and wet, but that might actually give us the variety of light and atmosphere for which Orkney is famous.
And of course it will be light until way past midnight and then again only a couple of hours later.
Above all it will be good to get out of the city, get north of the border, and experience nature, climate and geography close up and in an unrefined state.
About Me
- Alan
- New Barnet, Herts, United Kingdom
- I am the Chief Operating Officer and also the Head of Finance at the Association for Geographic Information (AGI) in London. I know about Finance. I don't know so much about Geography - I came here from the world of the Arts. But I think it is important that the finance guy in any organisation knows a bit about what that organisation does, and why. I have had no formal education in the world of geography but am developing an interest in the issues facing geographers and the benefits which geography can bring in so many walks of life. I need to learn more about geography and the current issues in GI. This blog will follow my process of education and record my reactions to a wide range of events all relating to geography in its widest sense. I hope visitors will find the blog to be of interest. Be prepared to follow me through my learning curve. It may be a bumpy ride!
