'That bloke that does stiles'; also clouds and general nonsense. 'gradually the sense of disappointment wears away' Shap, this account, etc 'Diplomatically tight-lipped about fluvial processes'
Was having coffee at my mum's, hope you've got the merch sorted for WelshMeasure™️ @hbsj.bsky.social
Oh this is just wonderful 🥰 @galleonskip.bsky.social @andrewjfrizzell.bsky.social You really do need to click in to explore the sheer bonkers joy of this!
Hugh Jones@hbsj.bsky.social · 16h agoAnd now a discussion and conversion chart for linear measurement. Here the key measure is a Thorburn, which is 64.2 m (70'8.5") long, named for Paul Thorburn's world record successful penalty kick for Wales v Scotland in 1986

Equine stilin' from god's own county, and god's own dale within that.
Elma@maybelmamazed.bsky.social · yesterdayI’m sure you know where this is @lakesstiles.bsky.social 🙂
I know this is serious stuff, but... Is there a Top Trumps (espionage organisation edition) coming out? Was the finding influenced by the recent TMS interview in which we found out MI6 have a cricket team that have to play anonymously because, reasons. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
MI6 is top European foreign intelligence service, peer review finds
UK’s Secret Intelligence Service praised for playing long game and having ‘a taste for dirty tricks’

Stile memories 😊🥰
𝔸𝕟𝕕𝕪 𝔽𝕣𝕚𝕫𝕫𝕖𝕝𝕝, 𝘍𝘳𝘪𝘻𝘻 𝘢𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘣𝘪𝘻, 𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘳𝘩𝘺𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 🔔@andrewjfrizzell.bsky.social · 18h agoRandom memory for @lakesstiles.bsky.social delectation. Probably triggered by the moth story (a previous post) 1/ 🧵🪡 I often stayed at my Gran’s house, an old Elizabethan half timbered place which she rented part of. It was a beautiful, rambling place with fields behind it.
Stile on the way to Scalpay (off Harris) lighthouse, sent by a friend not on this platform.
Ecclesiastical stilin' with a grand view
Elizabeth Tutty@tutty352.bsky.social · 19h agoChurchyard stile from St Oswald’s Church, Heavenfield.
Probably very late to the party, but read this in a day. It's an utter delight.
Have you benefited from the university? Studied a subject you love? Achieved a graduate job or prof. qualification? Enjoyed a documentary or historical nonfiction? Received life saving or life enhancing medical treatment? Live in a university town? Pls write to your MPs in support of universities.
The vegetation is eating the stile... 😳
Elizabeth Tutty@tutty352.bsky.social · 2d agoAnother ladder stile on the way to Heavenfield from Hexham Abbey. Acomb.
Does this ring any 19th century history of #datavis bells? I love the idea it was a bit of #sciart based on Telford's engineering diagrams.
Stiles@lakesstiles.bsky.social · 3d agoWhen were grids first introduced? (I've now discovered that this gate was one of the original Thomas Telford A5 toll gates, but always wondered if you could plot something on it to show, well, clever things...)
This is completely the precise nonsense I'm here for...
Hugh Jones@hbsj.bsky.social · 3d agoA handy conversion chart: 1 Wales = 20,782 km2 1 Deciwales = 2,078.2 km2 1 Centiwales = 207.8 km2 1 Milliwales = 20.8 km2 1 Microwales = .021 km2 or 20,782 m2 1 Nanowales = 20.782 m2 1 Picowales = 0.21 m2 1 football pitch = roughly 344 nanowaleses
