How you getting there? I might skip it, as I don't fancy an extra 100 miles

Lots of cycling gloves

Apple selection

First and only Red Sleeves. A whopper I have it trained up a North facing wall so it's never going to fruit well

Went for a swim in there once while crossing it on my bike

I think I'd be tempted to get on a train from Liverpool Street to Chelmsford and avoid all the London suburbs

Peter Harper @peterharperuk.bsky.social · Aug 20

Ah, that makes more sense looking at the map (I've never done it)

Peter Harper @peterharperuk.bsky.social · Aug 20

Let me guess, you said "it doesn't even go to London or Edinburgh"? 😂

Peter Harper @peterharperuk.bsky.social · Aug 3

Peter Harper @peterharperuk.bsky.social · Aug 2

Registration was quick and efficient. Ran away to London #lel2025

They finally got round to resurfacing the Bealach na Ba. I took a drive over earlier this morning. Here it is (at double speed).
