2025
Warning: statistics ahead.
As various services either encourage users to write a year review, or in some cases just do it for you, here is the summary output of my lifelogging for the last 12 months.
Travel
I'm not a big fan of travel, particularly by air, so until this year I'd not actually left the UK since 2020. Somehow I ended up taking two long multi-stop trips which meant I visited four countries - one of which I'd never been to before - in the space of a year, which for me is a lot. I also left the northern hemisphere for the first time in my life when I travelled to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.
Countries visited: Portugal, Spain, Netherlands and Ecuador
Longest journey: 6309.39 miles, flight from Amsterdam to Quito

Health
I'm not particularly fit, but I try to log when I'm doing healthy things. I've had a bit of a lull in my cycling distance since the pandemic, so to log over 500 miles this year was a pleasant surprise.
