— Rained off and browned off: a thrilling afternoon in the Derbyshire spa town.”
What could be more thrilling than a wet summer’s afternoon in Buxton?
Well, I could think of a few things but there wasn’t much point in doing that as we descended into Buxton. Rain rolled down the hill like a waterfall.
After getting rained off within about ten minutes, we took shelter in a dark restaurant with morose waiting staff.
Later we sat in the car and tried to think of ways to avoid doing this sort of thing in the future.

Hideous weather and dampened spirits: it could only be a British summer!

Who you gonna call?
Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.
I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.
I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.
Shameless self-promotion
Over a year in the making, Dopeology.org is my latest personal project: a topology of doping in thirty years of European pro road cycling.
I collected information from thousands of sources, then I modelled and published it via a lightweight user interface.
