Pics from your State Sanctioned Exercise.

[wayward bob]

went across town for a change today. through studentville which was blissfully empty - much more so than my park walks. and crossing all the big roads was a breeze i don't press buttons on crossings any more but there's usually only a couple of cars at the lights every turn, so plenty of opportunity. saw much less people overall than doing a local park walk. and big park is big enough that everyone can give space. people are concentrated in queues on the main shopping streets but easy enough to avoid.

and i know which end of town to avoid the utter wankers in convertibles

From the green lanes at the back of ours We're really lucky.

I must say, right now I do envy you where you live: you've nice green spaces much closer to hand than I have here! Mum keeps sending photos from her walks down by the river.

Sorry! Was lovely to see her the other day by the way, it was like the shittest spy thriller ever

The flour is in the saddlebag. I say again, the flour is in the saddlebag

She was more than grateful to you for the flour!

Oh and these are cool, some bush in my front garden (which sounds like a euphemism)

I've seen a patrol car parked in the little car park in our nearest large open space a couple of times but I suspect they are just having a break and taking in the views at the same time.

For the past couple of days my exercise looked like



So I made myself go outside

Up the hill behind where I live. In that fourth picture, though you can't see it, behind the trees and before the hill in the distance is Tipi valley.

Very early walk today and there was a mist / fog hanging just over the slightly higher ground..

This is just turning into the pretty countryside thread, isn't it? Here, have some deserted city streets.

You still seem to have more green space to hand than I do in north Hull! In fairness, though, I've not been venturing far from home and I could be out of the city altogether in half an hour if I gave it legs...

The Lea Valley is on my doorstep (The River Lea is about 10 minutes away) so we have a huge green space close by. Very glad of it atm.

Went for a state sanctioned cycle and reminded myself that central London exists. Seeing the river was good for the soul

Top left, that's my favourite water tower. I have better pictures but they weren't taken on state-sanctioned excercise time so I cannot post them here.

Last night's walk

 

[Dogsauce]

‘Flood’!? Presumably the bloke who should have put that sign away in February has been furloughed.


A very local landmark. Traffic is calm enough that you can avoid the fussy little cycle bypasses on the pavement, and just pass the barriers by swerving over to the other side of the road. Can normally only do that trick at night or in the early hours.

Generally seemed a bit busier out today compared to my last excursion nearly two weeks ago.

Official murals in Christchurch don't seem to get painted on much but this looks like a mural painted partly over another mural for some reason
The original can be seen here, I was hoping it would say something about the change / paint over but that site is fairly annoying to use on a phone and I can't see any explanation, the new work doesn't seem to be on there

Saw this 1971 Vauxhall Victor (?) last week.

I remember they used to seem like such massive cars but this was small and tinny looking next to the Focus parked in front of it.
