Following last week’s #WaterfallWednesday, Brian’s sent another gem – Hull Pot full to the brim in January 2023! After heavy rain, Hull Pot Beck spills in, creating a spectacular waterfall. Occasionally, it even fills completely! 🌧️ #Ribblesdale #YorkshireDales #StepInToNature

#Autumn!

Fancy a walk🚶‍♂️but don’t know where? 🧭 Hike Maker can generate a random circular route at the distance or steps 🥾 you choose that starts and finishes where you are 📍 #hike #walk #outdoors #trails apps.apple.com/gb/app/hike-...

The little smudge on the right is #Andromeda. I love glimpsing this because it’s roughly 2.5 million light years away. It blows my mind!

An unusual gate near Honeybourne from my recent @slowwaysuk.bsky.social walks in the #Cotswolds.

A well calibrated #Sundial in Moreton in Marsh in the #Cotswolds. Modern clock shows just gone 11am. Sundial shows just gone 10am, but it's daylight saving time BST so all correct 😃

Wash, rinse, blow-dry. This very mixed weather makes the @bsky.app look so bright and clean! From @slowwaysuk.bsky.social near Penrith a couple of weeks ago. #ThinkTrunkTuesday

I love small civic museums and Cliffe Castle in Keighley is a stunner. You leave the building feeling smarter. Fossils, ceramics, the Big Bang, continental drift, crystal formation, stained glass, bees - all wonderful, and free admission too. #bradford2025 #museums #cliffecastle

Last week I spent a day walking @slowwaysuk.bsky.social routes in the #Cotswolds from Moreton-in-Marsh to Chipping Camden to Honeybourne. By amazing coincidence I bumped into Steve Melia of @railwalks.co.uk doing a very similar route, so we walked together. The main route was really lovely.

Emissions equivalent to about 500 short-haul flights a week 😑 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/sep/15/google-datacentre-kent-co2-thurrock-uk-ai

There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

The responses to @helenczerski.bsky.social 's post are all banging on about improving e-bike safety, ignoring her point altogether! Just demonstrating how normalised and accepted car accidents are! @ianwalker.bsky.social 🙄😖

Two very important graphs. Net migration reached record levels in 2023 - and has since halved. The vast majority of arrivals comprises students and workers. Arrivals in small boats and asylum seekers - less than 5%. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

despite media focus on small boats and asylum seekers, these only make up a tiny % of those coming to the UK – less than 5% www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025... #immigration #smallboats @suecowley.bsky.social @profaliceroberts.bsky.social @chrischirp.bsky.social @morsecat.bsky.social

An often unsung cast of guitarists from the 70’s era Progressive Rock genre.

On the west coast main line the other day, my Avanti train was stuck behind a slow goods train for a while, which allowed me to grab a shot of the Shap Summit sign a bit south of Penrith.

Part of a car graveyard near Penrith.

#FingerpostFriday from yesterday's @slowwaysuk.bsky.social walk into Penrith.

Professor Ian Walker was inspirational at yesterday's conference at London's beautiful Guildhall. His allotted time was way too short - could have listened to him all day. 🙏🏻 #motonormativity @ianwalker.bsky.social

618 low hanging routes! Are you close to one?

One for #ThickTrunkThursday from today's reworked @slowwaysuk.bsky.social route between Penrith and Lazonby.

#ADoorableThursday Spotted on @slowwaysuk.bsky.social route Arnside to Carnforth.

Fed up with pavement parking? We're supporting @livingstreets.bsky.social to show where pavements are used as car parks to the detriment of all who walk/wheel. Go & take photos (make sure you cover over reg numbers) & upload them to the Living Streets map: lnkd.in/ekEmPn3q Contribute by 22 Nov

And now for something completely different! A thrilling performance of #TheRailwayChildren as part of #Bradford2025 City of #Culture. Included #Steam journey. Featuring the Real Actual Engine that was in the film! Fantastic set, awesome, involving, emotional and exciting! @kwvrfriends.bsky.social

Some more loveliness from @slowwaysuk.bsky.social Carnforth to Arnside.

Whilst it's not very thick I'm guessing that this beautiful twisted trunk, like twisted rope, is very strong. Seen on @slowwaysuk.bsky.social route Arnside to Carnforth, through a National Landscape (AONB). #ThickTrunkTuesday

Stories like these are why we need to end pavement parking. Add your street of shame to our map of pavement parking hotspots 🗺️ act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/176767/... shorturl.at/zDRfm

A bit of a mucky #FingerpostFriday from today's very pleasant @slowwaysuk.bsky.social walk from Carnforth to Arnside in #Lancashire through the AONB.

Pavement parking pushes people into the road and oncoming traffic. We chatted to @philmercer.bsky.social on BBC Radio Berkshire earlier about why we're on a mission to see an end to this dangerous act. Pavement parking a problem where you live? Map it! act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/176767/...

We still need 2,300 signatures on this petition in order for it to go to government. Can you help? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... The deadline is 24th September – please sign and share with everyone you know! 🙏

Fascinating how it was drivers' views that were solicited rather than, say, the people trying to use the pavements

It's disappointing that the government's plan to get people moving is focused around "Go for a jog" rather than, as the evidence suggests, building environments that encourage everyday incidental exercise: the ability to walk to amenities liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/388...

St Winefride's Well at Holywell, North #Wales. This has a rather fascinating "miracle" story, and is visited by many pilgrims who take a dip in its waters. The walls feature some very #historic graffiti from across the centuries. #SilentSunday

The gravestone of "King" David Hartley of the Cragg Vale Coiners, in Heptonstall, near #HebdenBridge, #Yorkshire. Their story is fascinating. Poverty tempted them to forge coins to the extent that it rocked the whole economy. #SilentSunday

For 98% of days in the year in Britain, it’s either windy or sunny. Well-balanced for clean power — plotting this on a calendar shows how #wind and #solar power complement each other across days and seasons.

The beautifully restored Hadlow Road Station at Willaston on the #Wirral Way. I love it when you can see evidence of the former railway on these cycle/walking tracks. This one is exceptional and has café and toilets as well as a mini museum @slowwaysuk.bsky.social Ellesmere Port to Neston.

Cheap flights do not democratise travel. They just enable rich people to fly more.

Wonderful picture. They are both. Ariel roots are clinging to the rock the parts that are thickened and supporting weight are transitioning to trunk. The change in response to conditions! Nature is amazing!

A couple of bits of #History from a @slowwaysuk.bsky.social #Wirral walk. I remember a Neston parade that only Neston-born women and girls could take part in. And I have just found out the derivation of the name Heswall. Street name for @hikinghistorian.bsky.social 😂
