A stormy trip. #hiking www.christownsendoutdoors.com/2026/10/autu...

Sad but, I guess, inevitable. This gear reviewer has never touched a piece of gear. read.hereandthere.club/p/this-gear-...

Exactly this.

I thought had an agile mind before seeing this

A resource I hadn't come across (but based on the excellent Defence of Britain data - which recorded civil defence and anti-invasion structures from both World Wars), an interactive map of the data maintained by Steve Thompson. (to whom many thanks!):

@prehistoricsociety.bsky.social @joanavaldez.bsky.social Some of the brilliant World Heritage Site prehistoric rock-art in Alta from last month's Arctic Norway trip. Images of reindeer, hunting, boats, bears, bear-dens, fish, all in great profusion. The earliest panels are from around 5000 BCE.

The Port of London Authority says that a pod of approximately 25 long-finned pilot whales has been reported within the River Thames east of Gravesend. British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) is monitoring them and keeping boats away.

@weborguk.bsky.social PLS let the sky re-appear.

@amandachadburn.bsky.social @reblambert.bsky.social @prehistoricsociety.bsky.social 'The Sun and the Moon' exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery is tasty (if rather large at 9 galleries) with some archaeology thrown in.👍 Closes 8th Sep.

Unfortunately, the land it is on is no longer a National Nature Reserve, so we must only hope that one of our longest running archaeological 'experiments' will be protected.

@hedleythorne.bsky.social @annadillon.bsky.social Meanwhile back in Wiltshire...

this is tragic.

#art #ackroyd #SkelligMichael If you're a Norman Ackroyd fan, get thee to the Victoria Art Gallery, Bath by 6th Sep. Stunning show.

Anyone want to buy some eclipse glasses and disposable barbecues?

#Eclipse #Wiltshire Oh gawd, not another one.... and tracking a bit jumpy at that. Netheravon Airfield. 2.5 hours elapsed in 15 seconds. DWARF mini scope.

@weborguk.bsky.social Must tidy my cables🙂

@tessmachling.bsky.social Bruce needs to shape up!😀

Been a while since I posted anything for #StandingStoneSunday, bit remiss of me. To make amends here a slice of Boscawen-un

@richardosgood.bsky.social @weborguk.bsky.social Cough Cough.🥺

Looking NE nr the solstitial alignment from the verge of the A303. Quiet at 0500hrs. Phew. 🙂

Yorkshire, indeed the world, has lost some of its colour today. Garrowby Hill, a Yorkshire landscape by David Hockney, 1998. So long, David.

There's probably never been a better time to remind you that when David Hockney first took his Mum to California she remarked 'all this lovely weather and nobody puts their washing out'.

@drtobydriver.bsky.social @durotrigesdig.bsky.social Hard to believe the steepness in the reconstruction image until you look at the contours! Quite a landscape feature - used to pass it en route to X-country skiing in the late '90s.

@drtobydriver.bsky.social Over on Facebook.

@suegreaney.bsky.social @archaeol-winscutt.bsky.social Today, on name that Square ...

I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”

Somewhere Bismarck is looking down in confusion as Germany projects power by sending 4,000 pensioners, 12 buffet stations and a TUI loyalty program through the Strait of Hormuz

@suegreaney.bsky.social @martynjb.bsky.social @artefactual.eurosky.social any West Woods fans out there - the bluebells are very early this year, and the Long Barrow is being cleared of trees! 🙂

@public-history.bsky.social West Woods today. Bloomin hooligan.
