Pics from your State Sanctioned Exercise.

Would be even more educational to spatially challenged phone cam users if they orientated the cutout in landscape format, considering its like - sort of a Landscape view

The thingy is clearly designed to hold a smartphone in landscape format. The cutout bit corresponds to where the camera lens would be.
 
Did you say something to that cow because that look...
As it happens...yes, I was giving it the usual sort of guff that you find yourself saying to farm animals (or is that just me? :eek: )...and Mrs B was, as usual, telling me to leave the beasts alone...how boring I am...:D
 
How much did you do? I walked the whole thing in 2019 - the before times...


I remember you doing it.

Swindon to Streatley. After there it becomes footpath only. I didn’t do the Avebury to Swindon as the closest train station to the trailhead is about 12 miles away, Swindon station is 7 miles from the trail and 5.5 miles of that is flat, although you do have to navigate the Magic Roundabout.

The chalk ruts in the morning dew are like ice btw.
 
I've just started reading this Tim Moore: Vuelta Skelter | Cycling UK
I know it's only a cycling type travelogue but it's still telling me more about the Spanish Civil War than what little I knew.
Sad, horrible, brutal. have just read a story of a priest who always kept a gun with him and "proudly" murdered about a hundred people :(
He writes well, from that article, I expect it's a good read. Most of the little I know about the Spanish Civil War is from Homage to Catalonia.
 
You ride with no grips?
My daughter was riding, and I was walking. But we have various bikes, which we use fairly interchangeably, I think the one I use the most does have grips, can't really remember tbh. They're all very old, and the grips have probably perished. Might sort out some new ones, when I get round to it.
 
Learnt to sail at the Aquadrome with the Woodcraft Folk.
Our son was quite taken with the idea of learning to sail as we watched kids on the lake. We've said we'll look into that, but probably at Welsh Harp reservoir, which isn't quite as nice but is much closer to home.
 
I joined the Walk procession this evening through Dover which celebrates migration and diversity and features Little Amal the refugee girl puppet who represents all displaced children and is there to remind people to not forget about them. There was also a puppet show - Eli and the Golem (which is based on the real life testimony of jewish refugees and holocaust survivers). Very moving.

The procession went through town and up to Dover Castle for a light show. I didn't make it that far though. My legs were very tired after a while and I went to eat some nice chips at Castle Street.
