Conphlogence
------------

I'm making this post using my ROOPHLOCH setup, a few days too late for
it to count as a second entry, but I feel like I want to make a habit
of actually using this strange little rig from time to time.

I made a bunch of resolutions/goals at the beginning of this year.
I've done pretty well with some of them (e.g. my monthly mountain
visits) but others not so well.  I've done shockingly little
recreational cycling, for example, not even sure why.  And I haven't
visited a single river confluence...

...until now, that is!  If we call a river that flows directly out to
sea a class 1 river, and a river which flows into a class n river a
class n+1 river, then I believe I'm posting from where a class 5 meets
a class 4 (I guess there must be real actual proper terminology for
this, but I don't know it yet).  Quite far down the "food chain", so
to speak, but of course there are many more such points around me than
higher up.

(EDIT: actually, it was where a class 4 meets a class 3)

It's nice here.  Once again I can hear falling acorns behind the
clatter of Cherry keys (red, I think?  Don't really care), but this
time there's also occasional woodpecker and duck sounds too, and some
of the acorns land in the river with surprisingly substantial splashes.
There is a railway passing over the class 3 only 100m away or so and
occasionally a passenger train goes by but even they are not terribly
loud, I think they must be speed limited here, I'm not really that far
from civilisation at all.

I've recorded this location's coordinates with an ancient AA-powered
Garmin device, and will later record them along with a date and time
in a log book back home.  Hopefully this motivates me to bag a couple
more of these this autumn.
