Garsdale to Kirkby Stephen over Wild Boar Fell.

A great station to station walk with fantastic views when the weather is cooperating. Thankfully today, it was!

Mildly interesting, some of the potholes in Leeds have gotten so bad they’ve revealed tracks from the old tram system. #Leeds #TimeForTrams #Transport

It's really depressing to read of such abuse.
Sad to say, but cameras feel like a must, and report any and all abuse be it a close pass or verbals from a vehicle occupant

Despite all of the challenges - legal and meteorological - we did it!

The UK has youth mobility agreements with 13 other countries including Australia, Canada, New Zealand and India. So why not with the EU?

Our own polling found 3 in 5 think the UK should negotiate a scheme with the EU, vs. just 15% who oppose the idea.
Youth Mobility: much ado about bluffing?
Let's take a look at what youth mobility schemes actually are, and why they really, just maybe, aren't something people should be getting so worried about.

Stunning day out in the #YorkshireDales. Want to avoid the crowds of the Three Peaks? Stay on the train to Dent and walk to Great Knoughtberry Hill. Views are just as good and think I saw 2 people all day! #UkHiking #GetOutside #Settle #Ribblehead

The railways don't have a good rep and you would think they try to avoid being stupidly petty and bonkers so they don't attract more bad pr.
But no, we get this insanity. Almost like they hate customers

Teenager fined £129 after sitting in 'wrong first class' of 'very full' train
He had a standard ticket, but assumed he could use first-class after messages that the area may be used if the train is busy

I believe it comes down to drivers ignoring the speed limit.

Playing with #FastAPI and having the most fun with Python in a while. Few hours work and had multiple functional endpoints with OAuth2 authentication. Great stuff.

Not many views in the #NorthYorkMoors today, but still great to get out after a stressful few weekends moving house 🥾

Yesterday, Greater Manchester approved free travel passes for young people who have experienced care up until the age of 25.

Through devolution, important progressive steps continue to be made.
