My picture of the day-Where's yours?

Sadly the forest fire here still rumbles on, but not enough to spoil the view of my house on my return from a 73-mile, 5300ft climbing ride over five cols today. It did rather take it out of me today, but when I looked at the thermometer on my return, at 37C, I guess that might have had a bearing. Hoping for some decent rainage next week tp finally put a stop to the fire and dampen everything else down, including the temperatures.

Regardless how good you think you are at route planning. Its better if you take more than 20 seconds to plot your route

Yesterday we had a go at taking photos of butterfly with a phone. Its not easy.

Stayed over at the Ageas Bowl Hilton last night in Southampton, after watching the Hundred 💯 cricket match, and came across this in the bar.

A before-market ride (and before it got rather warm... another 37C day)

A modern stone circle, according to the plaque it was built in 1997 and is in use by local pagan groups.

Yes but the butterfly can’t hold a phone

Llangrannog, Ceredigion in Wales.

Fantastic day, rounded off with Fish & Chips and a beer on the beach for tea...

Any ideas what this is?

It's attached to trees (several within a 500m stretch of woodland) adjacent to a path. Each tree (all of which are sloes) has a small red ribbon marker to highlight its location. The boxes are about 2" square, 9" long, closed at one end and open at the other.

@Vertego looks like a small animal box. My guess is hazel dormouse looking at the leaves. Ask your local wildlife trust. They sometimes have footprint pads in them to see what is about, or they could be some nesting conservation initiative.

The road less travelled after a change of bike. Nothing beats huge 28" wheels on a road like this
