First ‘legs out’ walk of the summer
Cartoon with caption by my buddy @jackhauen.bsky.social
A rare opportunity to explore an old tungsten mine today, near Mungrisdale. With the expert guidance of Warren Allison we waded into tunnels deep under the fell. He pointed out the vein of quartz that miners chased into the mountain, blowing passageways with dynamite (the tungsten is in the quartz).
Ah this feels familiar #Brexit
This is a moronic decision. There’s nothing ‘woke’ about heat pumps.
Spotted this camping #cargobike made by @riesemuller.bsky.social. Definitely on the wish list!
Big plume of filthy water heading out into the River Kent. Hey @unitedutilities.bsky.social, it hasn’t even rained recently. What’s the excuse this time?
Heat pumps are only a matter of 'political controversy' because gas and boiler companies have stoked a culture war against them. You'd expect the BBC to resist lobbying, but it succumbs again and again. It’s an institutional problem.
A culture of fear and favour dominates the organisation.

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.
