It was shit mate. 3 fucking hours of not being able to listen to my children squabble.
Christ knows how I got through it...

Many more fugly tower blocks since I lived in Manchester, which was really not that long ago.
No cycling... about 30 miles. There's fucking loads of tower blocks, cranes everywhere.

Coming to terms with late onset Anarchism
On & around the old Croydon Airport site:
1. Outside the Airport buildings on the A23 Purley Way:
Never seen it quite that quiet!
2. The Battle of Britain memorial on the Purley Way:
3. The only surviving remnant of tarmac from the old WNW-ESE (main) runway & spur taxiway to Hanger B:
Looking WNW 'down the runway' towards the Roundshaw estate.
4. Oh, South London, oh South London...from the 'top' (Southernmost end) of the airport open space or 'Roundshaw Downs'/Roundshaw open space, as it is now known:

I've never been to Lancaster but I passed by on the west coast train once and remember being quite taken with it and its location. Nice pics.

I walked in the other direction today, taking another limb (?) of the valley up to the top of the North Downs at the very eastern end of the Surrey stretch.
Llamas!
The nearest stretch of open water to me that isn't a garden pond or someone's swimming pool. It's not much, is it?
This field seemed to go on forever and having eventually crossed it I realised I was perilously close to being in Kent (although these days, it's probably the London Borough of Bromley (Biggin Hill))

Afon Tywi at Llandeilo, with Swing bridge, named as such because it bounces (swings) when you walk over it, and Llandeilo railway station as busy as it ever is.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
In so far as Bedfordshire can have a posh, bit of an Oxymoron- but it is very nice.
Started at Stevington. Walked up to the windmill then about a mile, Mile and a half along the Bunyan way on the top of the ‘ridge’ in the middle of that loop. Footpath down the back of Bromham and then into the park arround Bromham Church ( The Church). Cut through Bromham Mill, which was empty, across the old bridge- pic below. Then along the river till you can cross the Frank Branston Way to take you into the back of Biddenham and home. I live in the top ( laughably posh bit?) of Queens Park. The other side of the valley is nicer but this is ‘my’ side

I recognized Bromham bridge there. I never knew Queens Park had a posh bit, laughable or not. Isn't that where the old Bedford football ground was and terraced streets where Bedford's south Asian community were put into? I'm sure it's changed.
And Frank Branston was still a (living) local journalist when I was last there. Hadn't had any roads named after him.
Thanks for the memories though.

That’s the same Queen’s Park still mostly Asian people in the terraced houses ( second largest Sikh temple in the UK) and some pretty big mosques . Biddenham loop new development all over the land at the bottom. I used to go to meetings with Frank Branston so it is weird, and a bit American, to drive down a road with his name on it.

One on one? You're crazy.
Did a slightly different walk this afternoon , up the Lea to Tottenham Lock , then on to Tottenham Marshes , I've never been to those marshes , lovely there. Then came back via Walthamstow Wetlands & marshes. It was about 8 miles after I came back via the corner shop, biscuits & cakes had been demanded by mrs21.

What would Badgers do?
I went a bit further than usual today (about 8 miles or so) so got a bit further out of town.
