2007
As the year draws to an end I looked through the lists of books read and orienteering event attended this year. While looking through the lists thoughts turned to favourites.
Books
Mad Dogs by Robert Muchamore – the latest book from a very good teenage spy series.
The Financial Times Guide to Investing by Glen Arnold – if you are considering, or already have, investments in the UK then you should read this book.
Heat: How We Can Stop the Planet Burning by George Monbiot – a look at how we can reduce carbon emissions by 90% without make major changes in lifestyle.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by Joanne Rowling – the end to a fantastic series.
The Secret History by Donna Tartt – intrigue in an exclusive group of students.
Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk – a suitably named book. A haunting collection of linked short stories.
Orienteering
O-Ringen Day 3 – Vifolkavallen – the O-Ringen was my first time orienteering in Sweden and this was the first day when I had a reasonable idea of what exactly I was doing.
Spey2007 Day 4 – Culbin – I really enjoyed the sand dunes of Culbin and am looking forward to getting back later this year.
Warwick City Race – my favourite event of the year. A course that required full concentration for the whole way round.
