Good morning folks, today is " The Great Dorset Bike Ride " in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support " some of the routes use our local trailway so I expect that to be busy. We haven't entered it this year, a lot of family stuff going on at the moment and we need to be ready to help out at the drop of a hat if necessary. Meanwhile I have a Hedgehog house incoming from a friend who works for our local Hedgehog rescue charity. I have taken the wireless video doorbell from the nest box and will rig it up in the hedgehog box, hopefully the hole I cut in the base of the fence will encourage them to visit.
Speaking of accommodation, when Mrs Tkk got a place in the GNR we immediately booked a hotel for the weekend of the run. It cost almost twice as much as we paid on a previous visit but that's sort of understandable due to supply and demand. Mrs Tkk is on a GNR discussion forum, lots of people looking for accommodation in the area and advice being given re using University halls of residence etc. There's several people who had previously booked Air BnB only to have their booking cancelled, then seeing the same accommodation advertised at a much higher price. 🥲
