Too kind. May the wind be always at your back.

One year into Wales' 20mph limit, road casualties dropped 23% in early 2024, compared to small reductions across GB in 2023. Provisional data shows the impact on road safety. 🔗 More from our Wales advocacy lead, Gwenda: bit.ly/3XZNLGW

Grabbing every decent day at the moment. Yesterday, hammering the MTB over the Black Mountains. Glorious play of light and cloud shadow on the moors, beautiful green lanes and some gargantuan ash trees. Grand to be about.

Something quite incredible that I didn't dot-join when I first shared this IPCC data - public transport and bicycling will actually save MORE Co2 than carbon capture storage theoretically stands to. + it will cost next to nothing to deploy. And it's ready at scale right now. #ccs

Here’s a video from our Forestry Conference 2024 - we’ve had some great feedback. Thanks to all for making it such an interesting day. Run with Grown in Britain Forestry Commission, supported by Pryor & Rickett Michelmores Nicholsons #CLA Country Land & Business Assn

There are a number of reasons why trees fail or are so painfully slow to naturally recolonize and regenerate on the uplands of Wales, in areas that would have been covered in woodlands formerly. Significant among these reasons is bracken. It grows densely and tall in summer...1/6

The uglification of cycling in London is manifest- delivery bikes running red lights, Strava jockeys in bulging lycra, purple cycle rickshaws blaring around Soho and electric hire bikes abandoned irregularly all over pavements—at night, weirdly suggestive of an apocalyptic event.

Anyone else on here ever had a problem with Euro Car Parks Customer Service? Sent me parking fine. I had bought a ticket for the car park, so I asked for proof of my overstay and evidence that they have information boards about paying extra if you have overstayed. No info in replies!

On the mountain with the ravens to catch the death of the day.

Rest in peace to Roberta Flack. Her cover of “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” is one of the most beautiful songs in pop history. Clint Eastwood played the entire 5 minutes+ in an extraordinarily touching scene in “Play Misty For Me.”

I am chairing / interviewing two forest and wood related talks at the mighty Hay Festival at the end of May: hayfestival.com/p-23549-will-k… hayfestival.com/p-23020-leviso… So good to see forests, trees, how to make best use of timber and the power of making things feature in the festival.

What is agroforestry & what should it look like for Wales. Come & chat, eat & drink (might smuggle in some cider) x

As I read it, this is the sole purpose of @x now… so I ask, just how shit is trainline and while we are trolling the bins GreatWesternRailway . Railwaygreat. Hilarious. Getting on a train in the UK is riskier than at any point in my life. Without a bicycle.
