North Yorks Moors/Coast evening entertainment... with swifts, swallows and martins swooping overhead. Next it will be the moths, bats and owls, then the badger. Who needs TV!

French IGN maps do not have the square as they do in the UK to read grid references. Even if I work for @Visorando walking app @Philippaโs Navigation Essentials courses was incredibly valuable. GPS is great for our walking toolbox but it won't replace a good paper map & leader!

George Orwell's novel 'Coming Up For Air' was published on #OTD June 12 1939.

From yesterday's walk at Sonning Bridge. I thought a) I've never noticed this before and b) why install a letter box here? ๐คฃI now know this is the latest prank of an artist who calls himself Impro! henleystandard.co.uk/news/exโฆ

The #MayDay holiday has twin roots: in traditional festivals marking the start of summer and, since 1889, in International Workers Day, commemorating the Haymarket Affair and the struggle for an 8 hour limit to the working day. Mayflies and Maybugs are oblivious to both reasons.
