"[Across] political tribes & demographics...most of us want a beautiful countryside that feeds us & is full of nature & beauty" 👏

Great piece from @herdyshepherd1 on a new vision for farming 👉https://t.co/lvc0eth0Vl

I carried 2 bags full of people's litter out of the bothy I stayed in.⁠
If you visit bothies, leave them tidy.⁠
If you camp wild, leave no trace.⁠
If you go for a walk or a ride, take your litter home. ⁠
Every time. Everywhere. Everyone. https://t.co/fTqHh1AhEx

@nedboulting @neverstraysfar Playing catch-up on Giro Stages & Pods after LEJOG 'Holiday'. Loved this story so much, and is why Neverstraysfar works so well unearthing these cycling tales.

I don’t normally get involved in calling out headlines but it’s just getting bonkers.

If this was directed at a gender, race or religion it would be rightly called out as the hate speech it is. Mums, dads, sons and daughters being labelled as killers. It’s just got to stop.

Welcome to Cornwall and the 1st morning of my LEJOG Rainforest adventure ;-) Decisions already to tackle the showery forecast. Plan to strike camp around 8am and hopefully chase the rain rather than catch it up. More interesting pics to follow...

This Champions League, we’re lifting the lid on the matches that feature teams who receive money from high-carbon polluters.

Both of the matches tonight involve teams sponsored by the aviation industry. Let's take a closer look 🧐 🧵

Last February was one of the driest on record for England & Wales with many locations seeing less than 10% of normal rain.

This February will be one of the wettest, many places will record more than 200%.

Extremes driven by climate change and things will get more extreme.

As the waters recede on another monster flood, thousands of homes and businesses along the Severn and Wye remain dry thanks to flood defences.

They work.

But they’re not the answer to future flooding and are creating a false sense of security.

@JezCox Jez. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Can relate to your message. 2023 was probably one of my best years at 53 of being consistently active & enjoyed so much of it. Had to remind myself to get out the door for a 5k easy walk this am after a bout of festive flu. Happy New Year.
