    Permanent once earned. Repeats are called having a life.

    The first edition

    Choose your window.

    Six outings that fit inside a few hours. No hotel search, no annual leave, no excuse.

    Field notes

    Curation is the feature.

    01

    A plan, not a pile

    Each outing has a default sequence. Smart swaps exist; decision paralysis does not.

    02

    Live details stay live

    Official sources are linked because roads, permits, ferries, snow, fire, and human bureaucracy all move.

    03

    Completion is analogue

    Tell Alfred when an outing is done. The stamp becomes permanent in the next edition.
