Bike insurance renews next month. Want online to compare the best prices, tried 3 comparison sites and one company came out top on all 3.
The one I'm already with 😁 #cycling #bskycycling

We surprised Rosemary and Martin yesterday.

Been on coach tours where that's happened. One notible occasion was 2 Americans that went missing in Innsbruck.
We lost one of the people off the coach so we had to leave them behind. We waited an hour, and informed the police. Hope you are feeling better.

It was actually, A1, A414, A405, M25, M4. But yeah, I've arrived in #Reading and it only took 7 HOURS! Not 9½ as it did going up #LongDay 😴
Currently sat in Macy D's oot by Reading Stadium absolutely knackered. Haven't stopped since Peterborough, still gotta find my hotel yet.
November 7, 2025 at 11:26 PM
Heading south again, A1, M1 & M4 to Reading this time.
I've just been wandering around Blyth services because I forgot where I parked the car 🚘🤦‍♂️🤣 #roadtrip

@diminutivefox.bsky.social I thought of you yesterday and your wobbly slatty bridge phobia.
Hebden Bridge in the Yorkshire Dales. I must admit, this one had me nervous. It's quite low and that water was pretty frisky 😬

I've discovered the Yorkie Cow in Ilkley. Deep filled Yorkshire puds with lamb, pork, chicken or brisket of beef.
When in Yorkshire.... 😉 #YorkshirePudding

Back in Burnsall this morning, but I'm two feet instead of two wheels today 🥾 ☕️ #Burnsall #Wharfdale #YorkshireDales #Hiking

🧵 Yesterday on my ride I headed west and up into the Yorkshire Dales following the river Wharf through Wharfdale 🚴‍♂️🏞 #cycling #Yorkshire #YorkshireDales #Wharfdale

🧵 1/7 My ride on Tuesday to Knaresborough. Last time I was in this area was for the Tour de France 2014 & last time I went to Knaresborough must be about 30 years ago. So I did a loop around with no less than 13 climbs. The first of which was Wescoe Hill to Weeton and Kirkby Overblow #cycling

I've done some collages of my walk around Windermere on Monday. I've never been to the Lake District before and the scenery required a bit of imagination but I had a wonderful (although a little wet) walk around Windermere and Bowness on Windermere 🌬🌧🌫⛵️🥾🌳🍁🍂 #hiking #lakedistrict #Windermere

We've been down on the beach today picking up firework debris. It's odd, isn't it, that you can be fined £250 for dropping litter but somehow it's OK to launch rockets containing plastic casings into the sky.

Today has been a great day. Mixed fortunes with the bike made it a slow day but I headed today up to Bolton Abbey and Grassington.
I still can't share media on bluesky, god knows why 🤷‍♂️ but you can check out my ride on Strava: strava.app.link/jChE5c7M3Xb #cycling #Yorkshire #Wharfdale

If we switched to #renewableenergy, the number of ships crossing the ocean would fall by 40% because they're just carrying coal & oil & gas!! buff.ly/dpTrSpO

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

Don't know about you lot, but in my opinion fish & chips always tastes better in Yorkshire 😋 #FishAndChips

As I'm still having trouble posting media on bluesky, instead of a thread here's my ride in Yorkshire on Strava (as it seems not everyone has bookface) #cycling #strava #Yorkshire #Knaresborough
