@NewForestRamble I still do with my gang of mates, even though I’m approaching 70.
Mind you we are nearly all electric now!

Gradually leaving this place, catch up with me over there https://t.co/5tgryG6fZd
Not much tankie stuff these days though.

@TinTent Blow the weather, it’s the Midge Season you want to avoid. Mid May to September. I agree the West Coast is better.

[mike bennett 🇺🇦 @TankieMike]

@stockotrader Yes agree, apart from oak tree saplings springing up in all sorts of places 🤣

@Durotrigesdig @BU_ArchAnth @RomanTownHouse That was your lot being attacked by a Pliosaur and an Octopus @DorsetMuseum then!

Some pictures from the 25th Anniversary of the Wimborne Militia. Three excellent talks and brilliant living history demonstrations.
Great to meet up with so many old friends from @ChalkeFestival
Shame the weather beat the second days events!

Among the Protesters in Weymouth today marching to protect the Old Assembly Rooms which Greene King apparently own and are allowing to fall into disrepair.
Well done DIG the Street.

Tuesday Tank: Shermans at last weekend's We Have Ways Fest - one parked in the food area, and two running riot in the arena. Also great to chat to @TankieMike and other folks around the showground. #WW2 @milmodelscene @USAS_WW1 @jr_liscano #WHWF #WHWF24 #TankTuesday

@ww2wtg @James1940 @MrJamesMay @michaelbeddoes I had an electrical problem last year with the rear indicator of my van whilst touring the Western Front.
A French support guy in a huge recovery vehicle turned up eventually. He spat on the bulb, pushed it in and it’s worked perfectly ever since! 🤣

@HistoryBowsh @guidltours @WeHaveWaysPod @almurray @James1940 Thanks, great talk, I learnt a lot .
