Following/supporting my brothers and sisters who are walking the 13 mile part of Trek26 in Snowdonia. They’ve completed 10 miles so far and TBH I’ve seen them once. Weathers turned out great. Cool at first, mist on the mountains then sunshine to greet the walkers home. All in aid of great charity.

Too windy

Sadly the 50 mph wind prevented any aerial footage but gave me time to walk and appreciate the town.

Well my dull husband thinks I’m an immoral driver. I disagree 🤬
There is one big roundabout of which left turn lane towards London get so busy depends on the timing of the day.
When it’s looooong queue (of which many try to cut in last moment which is naughty IMO) I go out to the right lane, turn all the way around the roundabout and take priority (see my poor pucture 🥸).
It was the first time hubby was sitting on passenger seat when I used this method and he was totally appalled.
As far as I’m concerned I’m not against any Highway Code!?

An article in the Daily Mail today which explains some of the work I’ve done in the recent past. Toby didn’t mention my A2CoC or PDRA01 qualifications. He seemed more interested in preserving his fingers (as was I).
Incidentally I’ve not done any local authority planning enforcement work, so far.

Councils up and down the country are using drones to take pictures or video recordings of homes to check if residents could be squeezed for more tax.

I was lucky enough to get authorisation to fly in Hyde Park upto last Friday. Luckily Thursday was dry for long enough for this great shot and some video (I’ll add later).
