Check out this insightful piece from @matthew_weaver in today's @guardian looking at #GreatMusgraveBridge and @NationalHways attempted abuse of emergency development powers to force through infillings elsewhere.

Few pics from Sunday's stroll on the Downs. So much nature exploding into life & colour. Pockets of bluebells, wood anemones, very active skylarks, variety of finches, buzzard, plus plenty of butterflies (incl. silver-washed fritillary, comma & painted lady). #SouthDowns #Sussex

#southdowns...
Thank you to everyone who joined the Zoom about creating a network of #SlowWays that connect the South West's national landscapes. This map slowways.org/progress-map shows how it's shaping up!
Want to help? Simply walk & review @SlowWaysUK that connect 2+ landscapes this summer!
