Today's beautiful 10 mile circular walk from Minchinhampton via Gatcombe Park and Avening Court was a fundraiser in support of Horsfall House, where my mum is being very well cared for - thank you to all involved!
The Psychology of Military Incompetence is back (I am sorry to say). How a bizarre conference session 20 years ago connects with today's disturbances. My latest on Substack. markmckergow.substack.com/p/105-the-ps...

This week's hike was a 12 mile circular from Sitges to Campdasens and back via Vallcarca and the Ermita de la Trinitat, which we found open for a change - not a cloud in the sky, it was a little hot at around 28c but with a cooling sea breeze. Thanks Seb & all of the Enjoy Sitges group!
