Adding a favicon

I just discovered what a favicon was so added one to my site. Not sure using a picture is the best for a tiny weeny icon, but I did it anyway. I used favicon.io by simply uploading a trimmed png and downloading the converted icon. This is the full size of the photo I used:

It was my first trig bag after I moved to New Zealand. I did it as part of local running legend Mal Law's call to arms for raising funds for men's mental health. I was 10 weeks late to his year-long mission to climb 1 million feet (305,000 meters) in elevation gain.

My comparitively sane goal was to bag 42 trigs in the remaining 42 weeks of the year. Coming from my previous job as a surveyor, it was an incredibly fun way to explore my new home. This trig is A32B, 50mm galvanised iron pipe set in concrete, four meter beacon. It's little sister A32C nearby, so it was a double-bagger.

It was a grunty climb off the beaten track straight up from Kingston behind the popular Shirt Tail track. I took the easier way down the farm track for the return.

Here is the logged activity, and this is a little google map I created to track progress of all the trigs I was targetting (I ended up bagging 43). Hoping I can fix my little injury niggles so I can get back out doing some things like this again. Seems like another life.
