I did an interview with Andy Dix, founder of Twmpa Cycles in a new series called 'Meet Your Maker', for WhitneySawmill. The mill is now owned by Woodland Heritage, a wonderful charity at the heart of restoring a wood culture across the UK #madeinUKday

It's #WorldBookDay - principally a feast of words and ideas for school children, but more broadly it is an opportunity to celebrate the written word and everything else that goes between two covers. To that end, on this day, may I humbly offer up, for steel nerds, my own work.
Good article by Adam Weymouth on growing bere barley in the Hebrides, on landrace populations and their value to agriculture in the convulsions of climate change, and on how lessons from the edge may be more important than we imagined.

Cracking few days riding Markus Stitz ‘s new #bikepacking route - Route YC - along the coast, over the moors and through the frosted forests of North York Moors NP with Erwin Sikkens, Charlotte Eleanor Broughton and others. Lovely folk to ride with. Weather was kind. Words in Guardian soon.
In a recent poll, just 28% of people know that drivers should leave at least 1.5 metres when overtaking people cycling at speeds of up to 30mph. Please leave space for cyclists. #OperationClosePass

Excellent review of Max Leonard ‘s new book ‘A Cold Spell’ in The Times today. I’m half way through the book: it’s terrific - sharp, witty, fascinating - as you might expect if you’ve read his books. Nice work, Mr Leonard.
