The day started misty and grey but by the time I reached this point on Blackdown the sun was out and the sky was a beautiful blue. Scots Pines on Blackdown in West Sussex. #BlueSkyMonday #WestSussex #Surrey #Trees #Landscape #Photography

Blackdown is the highest point in the South Downs National Park and in Sussex. It reaches a height of 918ft. It is just across the border from Surrey and near to where I live.🥾

Dear Komoot, Are you completely certain that this half-mile section of the route you recommended is suitable for a road bike?

A narrow path through the Welsh countryside. The rut along the middle has a small stream running through it and is strewn with large rocks. The raised edges are too muddy to ride. This section descended quite steeply down to a larger stream, crossed by a footbridge. Bike got covered in mud and my cleats completely gummed up.

When cycling unfamiliar routes, fingerposts are an invaluable aid to navigation. #FingerpostFriday

My green bicycle is leaning against a fingerpost showing a brown sign with the single word ‘LOST’. It is on a grassy road verge with hedge, fence and fields behind.
Lost is actually a barn conversion used as a wedding and function venue near Claremont Farm, Bebington, Wirral.

@ruth-w.bsky.social Partially covered by some Elder saplings, but I found him! And thanks to @martintravis.bsky.social for alerting me to the disused Lever’s Railway cycle route that I never knew existed #Wirral

Primitive carving of a face in the sandstone of the railway cutting for the disused Lever Brothers’ factory railway, that has now been converted into a cycle path.

Peaceful views at Staindale lake... ; ) Dalby forest #Yorkshire

A serene, vertical landscape photo of Staindale Lake in Dalby Forest. The calm, dark blue water perfectly reflects the bright blue sky, white wispy clouds, and the dense, green pine forests lining both sides of the banks

Pines on the shoreline in the English Riviera. #ThickTrunkTuesday Photo taken last Sunday in Torquay.

A group of three pine trees near the water's edge in the grounds of Imperial Hotel, Torquay. Their rich green foliage is set against the blue sky, with light, high cloud and a few contrails. To the left is a view across the bay. The water is calm and a beautiful blue. A small rock sticks out of the water. There is some pampas grass in the foreground.

Anyone else fattening themselves up in readiness for Winter hibernation? It's the start of Fat Bear Week in Alaska - when the public get to vote on their favourite #FatBear (see link in Alt Text).

'Chunk' - a very fat brown bear, who won the competition last year. He is in fast-flowing water looking for even more salmon to eat. Photo courtesy of Republic World. If you want to vote follow the link https://explore.org/meet-the-bears

After a recent trip to #LincolnCathedral, I’m happy to report that the world’s oldest tennis ball is still lodged in the mouldings near the Galilee Porch. Got stuck there in 1914 when a boy called Gilbert Bell was playing catch with his brother. See alt text for full story.

Close-up of a tennis ball, blackened by time, lodged in the arch mouldings of Lincoln Cathedral. I have indicated the ball with a yellow arrow.
The story of the stuck ball became a family legend and whenever they visited Lincoln, Gilbert’s relatives would check to see it was still there.
In 2005, the story surfaced when his nephew, David, wrote to the cathedral asking (jokingly) if they could please have the ball back.
It predates the tennis ball in the museum at Wimbledon (dated 1916) and is thought to be the oldest in the world.

TIL that Captain Hastings co-wrote and performed the theme tune for kids TV show, Rainbow. #Poirot

Huge Fraser in role as Captain Hastings, with David Suchet as Poirot, from the 1990s ITV series. He plays the flute and was in a folk band “Telltale”. He has a co-writing credit for the Rainbow theme tune, and some other music that appeared in the show.
