ALL ABOOOOARD! The Crazy Touring Train of #OzzyOsbourne. My cartographic tribute. Tour stops as bright lights amid the darkness. Most played cities glow brighter. Lines are the paths between tour stops.

One of my favourite Strands on Lake Balaton in Hungary, is in Zanka. It has a great #mapsinthewild contribution with a braille map of the area plus the restaurants allow the Swallows to nest and you can watch them hunting over the lake and then feeding their young right over your head.

A photo of me holding a placard stating: Palestine Action Are Protesters Not Terrorists

If the police arrest me for this, it's a direct attack on the expression of opinion: ie on free speech. But the Terrorism Act is so madly oppressive and loosely framed that I have no idea which side of it I'm on. And I suspect it's the same for them.

Step up restoration of ancient woodland before it is lost, Forestry England urged Campaigners say just 5.8% of irreplaceable habitat at publicly owned sites has been fully restored in 10 years

Forestry England owns 100s of 'Ghost Woods' - ancient woodlands felled to make way for monoculture plantations.

They've promised to restore them - but new analysis by @wildcard.land shows they won't meet their target until the 22nd century!

Join their campaign:
