Finally finished Offa’s Dyke Path yesterday (a third in 2021 and 2023, a third last week) – the first national trail I’ve actually completed! And with my 16yo son – happy times.

So I was watching @paulwhitewick.bsky.social's latest video, about the Neolithic chalk drums - www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXvC... - while cooking, and I had to pause it for a moment. Which happened to be when he was doing his best jazz hands.

A longer #dailywalk today. A modern stone circle; a mysterious memorial; a lost burial ground; a millennial #megalith.
