I'm sorting through the #BeachSpectres photos. This one's a nice desktop background.

#BeachSpectres day 1 went really well. I heard that we might have completed 100 level-metatiles, which would be around 800-900 tiles stamped in the sand. The unusually gloomy weather didn't get us down. Same again tomorrow!
A couple of dozen people stood around a large area of sand stamped with Spectre tiles. Selfie with me and Max Hughes looking at the camera, and the Spectre tiling in the middle of shot with people spots around it.

Great post by Tom about a great session that sadly I was only able to enjoy a little bit of at the time. Have a read, and if you're spending half term exploring any museums, be sure to keep your maths hat on, and share the maths that you've spotted with Tom @teakayb.mathsy.space
