| | | 2020 Review of the Year < on 12/16/2020 3:54 PM > | Reply with Quote
| | | I don't think I'll be able to get out and about again this year in any major capacity due to work and Christmas etc so I figured I'd begin the traditional end of year posts a little early. What a strange, turbulent year 2020 has been. For me, it started with so much promise back in January. I knew I was going to be made redundant due to the impending closure of my workplace in March and was putting together some amazing plans for a long trip to the States soon after that to make good use of my payout. Of course as it got closer and closer to March, the world slowly went into absolute turmoil and the Sunday before I was due to fly out, my trip was cancelled and postponed indefinitely. 2020 is the first year I've not been to the States since I first started going in 2014, and I was majorly bummed - I still am, but perhaps it was wise that I didn't get stranded out there, and will just have to make the most of 2021 (all being well). Of course by the middle of March the UK population was in panic mode and at the end of the month we went into a lockdown which lasted until June, I then decided to make the most of the next few months cramming in as many trips and things as I could. The summer consisted of a great many trips all around the country, topped off by a five day excursion to the far far northern Scottish isles for a delivery job my friend had to do, which we combined with exploring. During all this time we had talked about starting up a business together and the groundworks for that began being put in place in the middle of September, with us 'starting' as such at the beginning of November. All that hard work has meant exploring took somewhat of a backseat from October onwards with only limited time to spend doing it - not helped by another month long lockdown during November! I look back on life before March and it seems like a totally different world, my only hope for 2021 is that things slowly begin to improve - I miss all my American friends deeply. As far as exploring goes, it was a good year. I don't think I did anything truly 'epic' - although the bomb proof records rooms visited on one of the hottest days of the summer were fantastic - but I found a bunch of new things nobody knew about, revisited some old spots and had a generally enjoyable time with some great people. It was also a bad year for losing sites in the UK but that will be a topic for the '2020 Demolition Thread' whenever that goes up. 1
