Sunday August 9th

The Portway was closed to traffic this morning, and was packed with half-marathon runners when I cycled past at around 10.30am. Gulls on the mud and some carefree pigeons were all that was to be seen, I expect that there was more activity earlier in the morning, and before this invasion. To compound things there was a rave party going on in Walcombe valley! Oh, I did see a large flock (100+) of starlings up by Ladies Mile.
