Knackered ex orienteer and map collector- now on a bike much of the time. Hill bagger. East Lothian. Unfortunately due to some authoritarian overreach from our neighbours and overlords and over enthusiastic compliance, I am unable to easily access DMs.

The very much missed Twenty Shilling Wood 1979, Comrie, #Perthshire. Used in the second 6 days. #OldOrienteeringMaps #Omaps #ForthValleyOrienteers #TaysideOrienteers

Two copies of a course (M19L Blue-brown probably) in a small runnable finely contoured area. Big clearing in the middle, otherwise mostly white. Scribed 1:10,000 scale.

View of a once coppiced oakwood with little ground vegetation. Lots of many trunked small trees and the floor red with fallen leaves.

Badlands, #EastLothian #Conglomerate

Steep crumbling red crags with lots of pebbles embedded in a soft matrix. There is a pinnacle middle distance and trees in the background. Blue sky with cirrus clouds.

It's rather all encompassing almost Magat exclusive. Therefore they can go after almost anyone. Fascism always needs an internal enemy to rally against.

Sadly this supermarket chain got swallowed up by Tesco.

Low album cover - orange with David Bowie looking rather like the role he played in the Man Who Fell to Earth. WM Low was a supermarket chain in the 1980s.

Ties in with their old hobby of bullying I suppose.

This is definitely the definition of fascism.

Seems @Nigel_Farage is trying damage limitation on the Reform Russian Bribes scandal.

He’s known Nathan Gill for 20 years, and claims he knew nothing.

No one believes you, Nigel.

Keep the story moving. Questions must be answered.

The foundation of a totalitarian regime in real time. Terrifying.

We had a trip planned for the end of the month. Fortunately I found out that this was coming before booking. Will wait, they can iron out the glitches with somebody else, preferably some brexshitters or the idiots that "wanted to send the Government a message"

Cliftonhill, home of Albion Rovers, 1934.

One of our favourite stadium facades.

Really shows how central football clubs are to the community and the collective.

P-ing of two dictatorisl types. Good one

Richard Webb @fasgadh.bsky.social · 1d

Funny, but not funny. Keep documenting this for the historical record - and courts.

Richard Webb @fasgadh.bsky.social · 1d

You will probably be safe - there will be a pact followed by the formation of the Illiberal Autocratic Party - they know how FPtP punishes parties that are too alike.

People who harm our reputation by rioting in football host cities have their passports taken off them. Take his.

Oh he may have a spare?
