I had a vague memory of reading this book as a child in the mid 1970s. I couldn't recall any details other than an old ivory puzzle, a lost piece and a reservoir low water level in a summer drought. After a bit of searching on the Internet my patience was rewarded and my mystery book located

"The Map that Came to Life" was a favourite childhood book I recall from the 1970s. With a bit of help from AI I've reimagined 2025 style. That book really appealed to my imagination, each page showing a section of map and how it would have looked. Anyone else remember it?

I know it's morbid, but I can't believe it's 18 years since my wife died from breast cancer at the age of 43. She'd have been 61 today and the proud mother of 3 wonderful children. She's missed seeing them grow and mature into the young adults they are today. And of course they've missed so much too

The third pic is heading south from Black Tor. The fourth is what we call "Alpine" and the steep descent down to Ashopton.

Another stonker of a ride including plenty new terrain. As always with TMs you come away feeling you've been mountain biking not just riding a mountain bike.
Good tech - good laughs - good fun. What's not to like? 👌

This is a book firmly of its time (1925) - emotionally restrained, socially rigid, and steeped in the unquestioned colonial inhuman racism and exploitation of empire. The buttoned up, suppressed emotions feel very alien today, much like the clipped tone of Brief Encounter. #books #reading #novels

Quiet, atmospheric and poignant. This book is more about painting a picture about a small knot of people than knitting a plot. Very enjoyable though in a Cider With Rosie or A Month in the Country way.

It's taken a while to complete, but this is a long novel that deserves taking time to read and fully absorb. It explores deep emotions including trauma, guilt and human choices few would ever be unfortunate enough to experience.

Freedom Friday in the Peaks with a few pals. Double climb of Win Hill 💪 plus lots of juicy single track enduro. Magnificent weather, fast flowing dry trails and breathtaking scenery. What's not to like? 🙂

The old favourite route... Ringinglow, Burgage Edge, Padley Gorge, Curbar Edge, Devil's Elbow and Limb Valley. It is always good to spending the day MTBing with my son 👍
