A monument to the thousands of Scottish soldiers who died fighting far from home in the 1600s. Unregarded and unloved in a field near Worcester.
Made it into Wales after 3000Km youtu.be/uT1gXhmSr5Q?si=gq3s…

Months ago I found this monument to Scots near the historic Worcester battlefield. Revisiting, I'm stunned to find text that I just didn't see 1st time. Cleaning the stone revealed text noting Tam Dalyell MP had unveiled the stone in 2001, on the 350th anniversary.
Is there a better place in the world to ride a bike? youtu.be/GHbHv0m0bxU

Do you know the story of Eyam - a village in the Dales that saved much of the north of England by an act of deliberate self-sacrifice. After cycling 2000km to get there I visit the Riley graves, standing alone on the hillside.

At Winceby Cromwell's horse was shot from under him. He survived by the skin of his teeth and went on to win the day, inflicting huge casualties on the enemy - a window on what was to come. youtu.be/lBFaUzK-p-A

Made it to Winceby on my bike today. A battle of the civil war where there were a few thousand on either side and it’s said that Cromwell very nearly didn’t make it out alive. The days when being a leader meant being on a horse with a sword.

Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."
RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!
"Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering & cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed." The truth.

Day 13 of my trip and I'm in a quiet part of the country. England has 39 counties and LINCOLNSHIRE probably has the most beautiful castle so far. youtu.be/k_fHXQ6NCT0
