Wild camping affirmed as legal on Dartmoor. At last. Common law and common sense rule. Pitch tent, enjoy, leave no trace! We may not have caught up with Scotland, but we are at least not falling behind!

Dataset of the week: Global Synthesised Evapotranspiration.
The Elnashar et al data at 1km is a great resource (links in comments). Monthly 1981 to 2019. Below I have aggregated to 1982-2010 and resampled for near compatibility with the CHELSA (1981-2010) baseline climate. Happy to share.

Boxing Day fun. My Xmas 7/8 " oak dowels for bracing and acoustic wadding fitted to my Fender Rumble bass amps for tighter bottom end

Global mangrove soil organic carbon stocks dataset at 30 m. Maxwell& (2023) (doi.org/10.1016/j.di...)
Note that Zhang& (doi.org/10.1038/s414...) show that only 49-62% of this carbon can be attributed to mangroves
