For a different approach, use the Date column rather than the differences
column.
I assume the data has been put into the bc.df data frame (as Jim does,
above)
f <- function(v,m=10L) {
w <- 1L
while( (i <- tail(w,1)) < length(v))
w <- c(w, match(TRUE,v[i:(i+m+1)] > v[i]+m )+(i-1))
w
}
f(as.integer(as.Date(strptime(bc.df$Date,"%d-%b-%y"))))
