Hiking With a Herd of Cats - Not Literally

Every week, in Whatsapp groups, I see the same questions. “Who is driving from A?” “Who is driving from B?” “Where can I park?” and more questions. The same questions are asked every time. A decade or two ago I might have understood, but not in 2025. For some hikes this makes complete sense. For hikes that are impossible to access by train, bus or other it makes sense to ask.

Playing with Hard Drives

One of the easiest things to do is to buy a hard drive, and over a period of time fill it, and then get another drive, and a third, and a fourth, and a fifth. People will go from a small drive, to a larger drive, and a larger drive after that and backup plenty of the files across three to five drives. The result is that you have terabytes of storage, and some files are “backed up” on every drive, whereas others are precariously stored on just one drive.
