    Just back from a few days in Yawkshire, staying in a spacious site several miles from the city, and giving my new tent its first proper outing:

    Finally had a chance to cycle the length of the solar system:

    Human power energy sources (the gorgeous chocolate-topped flapjacks from Thomas the Baker were hiding in my pannier):

    A rumbling bridge, even though it only leads into a field of sheep. So nice and rumbling in fact that I cycled over it three times.

    The most dangerous thing I've ever encountered was next to this sign:

    Still with an entire bay all to myself, though it was York Races and the site was filling up a bit:

    And each night I watched the sunset through the pine forest and listened to the owls. One was going "tweek", another "woohoohoo-a-hoo" and a third was going "peepeepeepeepee".

    I'm not sure that the SeaKing was ever intended to be a nuclear bomber!

    "Tweek" would be a Little?

    Very nice.
    What kind of tent is that?

    "What kind of tent is that?"

    That's what I wondered.

    One of these I think.

    Good guess! It's a Wild Country Zephyros 2XL Lite. The 'XL' bit is brilliant - I can stretch out in my sleeping bag and not remotely touch either end of the inner, and it's tall enough in the middle for me to sit upright. The Hilleberg Akto, Terra Nova Laser Comp and the regular Zephyros models are all too small for me. The 2XL is a bit of a bargain right now and is still less than 2kg.
