"The Off Road Tour – The ideal route for adventurers who have already visited Paris" seems to be a regular offer for this bike tour company, I see them regularly here but it's the first time I see more than a dozen cyclists at once.

Before (2017) / After (2025) Rue Dulaure, Paris 20. The trees were planted in 2024. It usually takes about a year for new plantings to start looking good in photos. Right after planting, pictures can make it seem like the vegetation hasn’t taken, but by the following year, it looks much better.

Craig Cycles in Devon (and elsewhere) 🚴‍♂️ @cbcycles.bsky.social · 9h

I've been doing some booking today. Someone's going to be busy if I get to all these & I hope so.
The ones marked * I've done before. The B in B I've lost count of, the other 2 were done last year.
I'm particularly looking forward to the Lancashire Lights.... 1/3 🧵 #cycling #audax

Good luck! I ran it on high speed, as I have been reading most of rewilding Europe's website over the past years, I had quite a nice head start. Uni course is in English and free, and on Wednesdays, on closer inspection.

Can anyone help me find out what this is? It was blown out of a tree during Storm Amy. About the size of a small football and made from grass, moss and small sticks. No feathers in it. I think it might be a squirrel drey….? #nests #ukwildlife

Another ancient woodland rescued from hundreds of rhododendron near Rhayader! Solid crew of young and old today (ex-military 83yo absolutely ragging rhodos with just a bowsaw.)

If you’re struggling on your land give @protect.earth a shout. We’ll grab an army of volunteers and be right over.

Avant / Après Rue des Batignolles dans le 17ème arrondissement de Paris. Avant le contre-sens cyclable était de la peinture jaune (on voit un bout sous les véhicules), donnant un aspect "temporaire pour travaux". Et comme les gros travaux de la zone étaient finis, il semblait vraiment peu respecté.

Final update: have finished this course and would rate it five stars for accessibility. Surprised to see a one-star review, but this must be from somebody objecting to the topic. It's not taken 24 hours, fraction of that, but then again I know the topic fairly well.

I have enrolled on this course, and to say I'm excited would be an understatement😊 www.open.edu/openlearncre...
