Give him a soiled sleeping bag, an Asda trolley with a wonky wheel for his plastic bags and some cardboard…

Obvs. The question is what to do about it? I think the the big seven need a Sherman Antitrust Act that broke up Rockefeller’s Standard Oil Company. Won’t happen of course… too much corruption involved nowadays…

Mist hanging off the moors earlier this morning above Rothbury. The Sandstone Way is a glorious, if muddy, ride. Recommend.

Sandstone Way day 3 - in the middle of nowhere- gloriously quiet in the Northumberland National Park.
