We've published two illustrated maps & guides to East Sussex, covering Brighton to Eastbourne & Hastings. They show railway lines & stations, lanes recommended for cycling and art & cultural attractions x.com/pentopapershop/status/… Also a print of both combined. Of interest?

Andrew Carnegie covered most of the costs of building the Ewart Library, Dumfries, Scotland. An example of the 2,500 Carnegie Libraries built globally to promote education. An estimated 800 survive as libraries.

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve_news. We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now. Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

I wrote something about my friend, Felicity. Whose spirit left us last week bespokecyclegroup.org.uk/202…

If you're Christmas shopping in central London drop in to @StanfordsTravel at 7 Mercer Walk, Covent Garden. They stock our two Sussex maps, illustrated by the brilliant, award-winning @benjamindraws flickr.com/photos/160501528@… & posters of our River Lea map stanfords.co.uk/river-lea-va…

In 1935, a peculiar Austrian forester made a claim that seemed impossible: He could make water flow uphill without any external power source. Scientists called him a fraud. The Nazi regime tried to weaponize his discoveries. Today, modern physics is proving he was right about almost everything. This is the story of Viktor Schauberger, the "Water Wizard" who saw what everyone else missed:

Past societies produced so much beauty because they knew that math and beauty are deeply connected. It all started when Pythagoras discovered something mind-blowing about reality: The universe is not made of matter — but music... (thread) 🧵

Very excited to announce the launch of THE WATERSHED POLLUTION MAP! River health, landfills, sewage, road run-off, intensive farming, big industry, forever chemicals, abandoned mines, bathing waters, flood risk, protected areas and so much more... 🧵 bit.ly/45GBMRQ

As the Summer began to tip, but before the first leaf fell… Bill Drummond returned to the Great Lane in The Vale of Aylesbury to collect a bag of the fruit hanging from the Damson Trees that line this Great Lane. caughtbytheriver.net/2024/10…

Very well done to @benjamindraws on winning the Moira Gemmill Illustrator of the Year award last night! A brilliant achievement, and richly deserved thebookseller.com/news/benja…

Thanks! Yes, that was a great campaign - I've spoken to some of the participants. And yes, coincidentally this summer I visited Birling Gap and learned that the Frank Newbould print is based on a downland view nearby! :)

Excellent to see our two Sussex maps & guides on sale @StanfordsTravel - purveyors of maps in central London since 1853 and one of my favourite shops flickr.com/photos/160501528@… They also sell posters of our River Lea valley maps stanfords.co.uk/river-lea-va…

Walking to Pentre Ifan from the car park, we spotted a large bluestone (dolerite) next to the path. Cool to the touch - almost metallic - it "rang" unexpectedly when I struck it. Might this resonance have been part of its allure for Neolithic folk? gem-a.com/stonehenge-preseli…

Could the Nevern estuary be where large bluestones from nearby Mynydd Preseli were loaded onto barges & floated to the Severn estuary, then along the River Avon to Salisbury Plain (near Melksham?) in about 2,500BC? Seems plausible.. bradshawfoundation.com/news/….

At the magnificent Pentre Ifan burial chamber in West Wales. Made of local bluestones, the 16 tonne capstone is improbably perched on the points of three standing stones. The capstone's angle mirrors the slope and it points towards the Nevern estuary flickr.com/photos/160501528@…

Last month I led a bike ride with @BespokeEB & @EastbourneEco along the Sussex coast from Eastbourne to Pevensey, Bexhill & Hastings: bespokecyclegroup.org.uk/202… With investment - it could be a fabulous, family-friendly active travel route like Devon's Tarka Trail @Sustrans

I’m just back from the @Paris2024 #Olympics 🇫🇷 Everything you’ve heard about Paris rapidly transforming into a better city for people is true… 🧵

Normally I wouldn't write about something as mundane as riding a bicycle the 6 miles from Lewes to Newhaven. But yesterday's ride - at the back of a "peloton" of about 20 riders headed by @Chris_Boardman en route to Paris was a joy #MiddleAgedManInLinenriding1985ClaudButler
