@hantsconnect I have been clicking to try to enter the dates and duration that best suit me. From bridge road to furze hill must be about 50 miles so I’m expecting considerable disruption!

I’m just glad people now call them road bikes and not racers like they did in the old days

@nfdc_updates any chance we will get a bin bag and recycling bag delivery any time this year?

Why are @BBCSport showing athletes painting childlike pictures of each other when there is a ton of sport they could be showing. People watch the Olympics to see sport and competition

@wightlinkferry Expensive by ferry

RIP Apollo

Lymington shores development. Yet to be used for intended purpose and already looking like a crumbling wreck #lymingtonshores #redrow #lymington @redrow @PlanningShit

@HantsPolRoads The police were on cocain and cannabis?

Police attended a crash this morning at 0900 hours where a vehicle lost control and hit a telegraph pole. It didnt help they were also positive for cocaine and cannabis. Driver was very lucky they and no one else were hurt. #ItsNotWorthTheRisk 28770

Hi @rog10 next time you are at @yachthavenlym can I get my shirt signed?

@ByLaurieDesigns Don’t forget to allow for wax

PINPOINTED! The exact moment I turned into my dad. (He used to do this all the time with his windsurfers.). -Then write the weight on the garage door. #surfing #Surfer #surfboard #oldmansurfer

@sonsrap10 @ChrisGPackham @IoloWilliams2 @rtaylorjones @gordonjbuchanan @HamzaYassin3 @BBCSpringwatch @DeborahMeaden @SteveBackshall Trevor, where did you see your red kite? I spotted one today in the new forest at East end. Never seen one in this part of the forest before

@petehargroves I’ve not turned a competitive pedal in a long while but I always feel grateful to have been part of the team and received so much support. Cheers Pete

Tomorrow is the end of an era and the beginning of a new one. After 40 years Hargroves Cycles will become 99bikes. Thank you to everyone who has been part of our journey so far. It’s been my life’s work and I’m happy the journey carries on with the same stores, same service…1/2

The family got me my first new skateboard in almost three decades back in March. -‘Highlights’ from nine months of trying to relearn a terrifying lost art. #skateboard #skateboarding #laterskater #skateboarding #oldmanskating

Remember Elaine’s Chanel swim disaster? Well…GB sailing legend (And Lymington legend) Sir Ben Ainslie was told about Elaine’s Channel attempt by our mutual friend @studger123 and Ben has kindly donated a sailing helmet to help Elaine raise some funds. ebay.co.uk/itm/2659825808…

At the entrance to the #Solent or, at the gateway to the rest of the world (depending on your direction of travel!). -Carved into the living chalk of the #Needles there is a depiction of a #mermaid, holding a torch aloft. . I just think it’s cool! #mermaidart #needleslighthouse

@ByLaurieDesigns £100 is cheap when you Consider the free camping for unlimited nights that is included

Now, I hate jetskiers as much as the next surfer but…if you don’t want them there just ban them. Don’t charge them £100 per launch. Also £9 to launch one paddleboard? The one redeeming feature of a paddleboard is surely that you can just Chuck it in anywhere.

Love when the wife gets one question right on university challenge, then boasts so much we miss the next ten #UniversityChallenge

I never start my strava outside my house when I go running. I don’t want people to know where I keep my fitness. #running #runchat #strava #fitness

Desmond Swayne - MP for New Forest West, sincere apologies to anyone on holiday. He voted to allow sewage to be poured out into the Solent. Remember that when you & your kids, who have been swimming, get an upset tummy due to the 💩in the sea. #TorySewageParty

@newforestbike I’d say the loss of ground nesting birds is down to free roaming dogs but I’m not about to write a letter about it. And if I did I’d expect the local paper to vet it a bit better than they did with Ian Johnson’s letter.

letter in our local paper🙄
