Starting a website has been a learning curve full of surprises and revelations. One of the biggest surprises has been that (a few) people actually read it. For a minority it’s probably intentional, but most I think, found this site by accident.

Dipping into the stats pages, here’s a few of the more unusual search terms that landed here:

Is Madagascar inhabited by humans?
Trekking across Antarctica
What is the purpose of Dartmoor?
What’s the best decision you ever made?
Who is keeping an eye on the African Golden Cat?
Has anyone trekked across Antarctica
Fascination with the Amazon forest
Everything makes sense
Antarctica trekking barefoot
Kilt maker Exeter
Biodiversity Borrell (haha!)
Following in the footsteps of Captain Scott
Ants marching across the Amazon
Are there toads in Southern Chile

Quite what it all means is anyone’s guess. If you run a site and have some unusual hits, let me know I’m not alone in the comments below!
