Exeter excursion- finally made it to the lido while @walking-class-hero.bsky.social watched the football and then 14 Iced Bears played a stellar set at The Cavern including Sure To See, Hayfever, Cut and Balloon Song - what a delight!

Millions of people walk past Cleopatra’s Needle on the Victoria Embankment in London. This 21m high obelisk is truly ancient, and the oldest monument on the Thames Path National Trail. Read on to discover its journey to London 👇

Walking and running the Thames Path in Greenwich is a great way of being close to the River Thames.
Take the @royalgreenwich.bsky.social survey 👇 to give your views of the Thames Path National Trail.

One of the great things about living in south west London is the ability to go and see the wonderful Slim Chance at a variety of local venues. First time at Hampton Hub Club tonight for me and @walking-class-hero.bsky.social - and here they are playing The Poacher. 2025 gig 12 if my maths is right.

Excellent visit to Crystal Palace subway, the Cordoba of SE19, with @walking-class-hero.bsky.social this morning. It’s open very rarely but well worth making plans to go.

Winter in Richmond Park, #London 📷🌳

#LoveLondonWalkLondon
Photo showing some bare winter trees contrasted against a cloudy white sky. They are surrounded by grass, mostly short and green, but with some brown. In the distance a path cuts across the image, and there are more trees beyond.

We had an enjoyable walk last Wednesday despite the mud around Happy Valley and Chaldon church. Dry for once. It was great to get served quick enough to have a pub lunch at The Fox together. #Ramblers #walking

Wimbledon Common, Merton, #London 📷🌳

#LoveLondonWalkLondon
Photo showing a bare winter tree amid a woodland clearing. The tree is surrounded by a kind of brownish long grass. There is a wooden bench next to the tree, and some darker brown plants of some kind. In the distance a thick line of trees is visible. The sky is pale blue with a fair degree of cover by light clouds.

Very gentle music from @waysideandwoodland.bsky.social, perfect for my slightly fragmented brain this afternoon

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Billingsgate Market, Tower Hamlets
📷 #London #Reflection
Photo showing a long red bricked market building beside a dock. The dock water is fairly still and shows a reflection of the market. Some tower blocks loom tall behind the market, and those are reflected too. The sky is quite blue with a small amount of cloud, and a little yellow haze on the horizon as this photo was taken not long after sunrise.

Hemmar2 #SlowWays between Hemel Hempstead and Markyate. Lovely, despite the sleet, which could be seen in advance, rolling in over the hills.
A grey grit track between green fields leading to small copse. Brown beech leaves on the ground. Bare trees teaching up to a grey sky. Path through sheep pasture going downhill to a cottage with the River Gade unseen behind. Bleak sleet swept field. Hills in the distance. Two bare trees stand together.
