Title: Does anyone else read through their own old trip reports?
Post by: Jillsy on June 19, 2022, 10:13:04 PM
After fishing through an old trip report to find a photo of BigJules splitting wood to put in another thread, I just spent an enjoyable half hour or so reading through my entire trip report from our journey to the 2011 National Meet in Wilmington, SA - it was the very first National Meet Myswag.org had ever had.

This brings me to my question - do any of you read through your old trip reports and reminisce?

Oh...if anyone wants to have a squiz - my trip report can be found HERE (http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=16470.0). It was my first ever report…

Quite often the photos on my home storage don't get looked at and it's easy to forget when and where things happened.

I check them out on here and dates/descriptions help bring back memories. Usually when I am after some info for a mate or something triggers in my head!!

Also go through others when planning a trip or just for ideas where to go.

I go back and read them at times, makes me try and find time to do another.

Yes I do , Makes it easy for me to post up events that I have been running over the past ten years , I can look at who was there , helps with sending out PMs for events . I use cut/paste , saves doing the same thing over and over . And I use past photos

Hi,
    My brother used to print my emails from Random Roadside Ramblings for Mum to read as screens were too confusing for her.
I have a few A4 folders full of memories.
I should reformat them in Open Office and have them printed and bound.
Cheers

Hi,
    Well over due I feel. At last we no longer have to transit Melbourne and those terrifying freeways now the ferry will be docking in Geelong.
May be a Wimmera Wandering next year, definitely nothing tropical after our Kimberly experience.

Hi,
   Yep, locked and loaded into the Garmin already.
I would like to roll that in with a Wimmera River descent somehow.
Cheers
