@halifaxpete - was it busy up on Norland?
We were up there a couple of weeks ago and it was the busiest I've ever seen it

Oh I give up.
Little spin round central today

Waited until dusk to avoid the plagues of people, instead I got plagues of midges! They disappeared instantly though once it started getting darker.

Just a pootle up the river to help loosen up my shoulder, sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day doesn't help.

Quick blast to the top of the hill to catch the sunset and back. Also spent ten minutes fruitlessly chasing a lamb around that got separated from its mother. Will have to phone the shepherd in the morning (biggish lamb, it'll be reet)
Up Feshie today to do a bit of track surveying for ScotWays.

Up the local beauty spot today as I reckon tomorrow it will be rammed - Wittenham Clumps. 3miles from home.
Hiding in the shade whilst I drank a beer.
Beauly Firth this morning.
^^^^ OMG a fallen pylon!
I took a few today, none of them great, but this is the one I'm showing here:
Combining my local rides with FR egg-hunting and foraged veg
First two evenings out for a week or so. I’ve been more like Nosferatu of late. Yesterday saw no eggs, but a great light. Nice and quiet. Today I sourced some eggs an from animal-rescue, and for a good price. Also some fresh nettle-tops. (nettle soup on the menu).
Well-chuffed.
Getting risky on the roads again, I noticed today. A few close-calls. One very. Plan to try and enjoy the 80% quieter/safer lanes while it lasts
Me: ( To ‘Ingrid’, the British Eggle) ‘But we’ll always have Paris Castlemorton’

^^^^ OMG a fallen pylon!
I think it’s just a bit tired and having a lie down. 🙂
The local woods were running fine this morning, before all the crowds arrived at 11.00am....
Today I met a horse.

Up by the local weather station overlooking East Cardiff, managed to get back down just as everyone else was heading up.
Cracking jump photo Matt.
First day of feeling properly hot out on the bike. Quiet lanes, blue skies and birdsong.
Bliss.
I'm sure the trail is in there somewhere

Mr TW.
My bike.
Just out after recovering from the bug and am now faced with fields of flowers that I'm allergic too. Still pretty though.
Cycled the 20 London river bridges this morning
