Settled tonight on Fan Frynych, roughly 630m. Beautiful climb up above the clouds, but stormy weather ahead.

I think there may be several! That said, the Edinburgh one is the actual name whereas the Welsh one could probably be more of a local nickname for the two peaks. Unsure!

So thrilled to witness this 10 metre long artwork by Anna Dillon and Becky Carrozza at the launch of the Springline Project. Absolutely mesmerising artwork of the very highest standard. Proud to have been involved and also to have pulled the sheet off!

"Cadair Arthur" or "King Arthur's Seat"; the highest point in Southern Britain comprising Corn Du and Pen-y-Fan, both with magnificent celtic cairns. This view, across the gigantic Cwy Llwch valley, is taken from the slopes of Fan Frynych. All it needs now is tents... #Wales

Super day at the Dolphin Gallery in Wantage, followed by the Thames Water reservoir exhibition. This evening I will chat about this reservoir and revent fly tipping events in the Wessex Ways podcast. Plus a special locaton!

Quite possibly, I think the river had several streams back then rather than being a single, deep flow.

I will add, I use AI services to minimise major IT outages at Heathrow, and I hear it is working wonders for antibiotic resistance.

Sending a sunflower from the summer. And hugs. And also, feel free to contact me if you need an ear.

The Goring Gap, and Brunel's railway bridge spanning The Thames. But, is there more to this scene than we may have realised...? I am investigating something for Wessex Ways podcast.

"Hurley Bottom" and "Cockpole Green" do sound like slang for intimate medical ailments.

This serene landscape beside The Thames near Hartslock Wood is a vital area known for supporting the rare Monkey Orchids. A beautiful sight today! Well done to everyone who got my earlier question correct.
