I really like your pictures Clair. They're simple but so well composed

Dartmoor?

Yup. The lines are an old tramway built out of granite, for shifting granite down to the nearby canal. Looks like a giant brio train set.

Dartmoor is beautiful, love it. Are the tram lines near Haytor, which is superb.

Yeah it runs from Haytor down to Newton Abbot.



A lot of engineering went into it. Every stone is cut with an L-shaped cross section for cart wheels. There are banks and cuttings to get the track round all the contours, all still intact after 200 years with no maintenance, as well as arrow-straight sections like this in the picture.

Haytor is a superb place. Look North over the Moors and South all the way to the estuary. A nice climb from Bovey a nice drop to Widdecombe. Can ask for no more.

Half term so can walk the dog a bit later in the morning now…

It's a bugger to cycle up though

Fuck that. Too many Range Rover wankers on that road.

It was OK when I did it as there were 3000 cyclists

Once, donkeys years ago after an eclipse in the pouring rain and down on to Widdecombe. More recently, in hot sunshine with Mrs tag. I waited at the top of the hill, encouraging here by waving a lit fag around

cold day at the beach

Not quite but sort of state sanctioned exercise has led me to take these this week:

 

[Boru]

How many more winter storms before we get a bit of spring sunshine?

 

[brogdale]

Walked over to Croydon today and, for the first time since the before days, got the seven home. Hadn't realised what the bastard developers were up to around the West bus station; fucksake, the size of these cranes.

Seemed even colder today with the big wind




Just after that it pissed down and I took shelter up against the cliff on the left

Particularly like the way they ran out of space on China

Pretty sure it should be 'Turkestan' as well.

 

[pseudonarcissus]

Not very scenic but I had an hour of undisturbed breaststroke

Bread on top of a bus shelter.

I think this one may have got exhausted after the storm last night and needed a snooze on the beach

 

[Boru]

Oh Galway.. a light in the darkness...

Feb 24, 2022, the day the war started in Ukraine and snow on the ground..
