Mainly here for the stiles ['gates made of guile'], clouds and general nonsense.

'gradually the sense of disappointment wears away'
Shap, this account, etc


'Diplomatically tight-lipped about fluvial processes'

Stiles, blue sky. Also blue Skye.

In an old Dalesman book, Ghosts of Cumbria I think, there was an ace tale of a hitch hiker who set crossword or chess problems for a Carlisle newspaper in the 60s. The driver is the teller of the tale, and results in him going to the house of said hitcher with his last puzzle. Anyone else know it?

Everyone has a favourite cloud. Don't they? Anyway, have some ripply sand with some altocumulus.

A stile. Blue sky. Hills. Reeds.

One for @mostlyrambling.bsky.social. Not quite so spectacular but you get the general idea of cloudy reflections.

All planned out from Phil... 😱
The first stile you’ll reach after escaping from Gartree #stilesaturday 🏃‍♂️🥾📸

Homage to @orkneylibrary.bsky.social .
Or a new game:

Not sure of the rules yet.

Two x 500g jars of Marmite @martingillie.bsky.social . Economic speculation has gone into meltdown.

Altocumulus AND altocumulus reflection. A big PHWOOAARR from me.
The skies got silly over the causeway from Savannah to Skidaway Island, GA on a recent morning. I made a stop at the fishing bridge to document it. #clouds #BlueSkyArtShow

One especially for @dfgillie.bsky.social and @martingillie.bsky.social, from 1939 apparently. Worth it for the adverts alone...

Oh the stiles, the stiles!!
1) Walk 13 of the year, out early again, this morning, 30/01/26. Portgate to Heavenfield section of Hadrian's Wall Path National Trail. Today I have been raking flat mole hills, changing four Acorns and litter picking. #hadrianswall #followtheacorn

A ladder? A lying down stile? An exercise thingy? A hopscotch court for salmon fisherfolk for when you can't chalk the grass outside your bothy??

Peak, indeed excellent, stilin'
Phone snaps from today’s #PeakDistrict walk. A panorama of the view after climbing over the stile
