Well, if you are building tower blocks you might as well make them colourful.

John Rogers has produced an excellent video about the Sharpenhoe Clappers in his quest to find the source of the River Lea.

I wonder who came up with the bright idea of rebranding the designation 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' as 'National Landscape'? Although the former designation is slightly wordy, it and its abbreviated form (AONB) are both instantly recognisable.
The expression 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it', springs to mind.

I presume that medieval rabbit warrens were once fairly commonplace, but am unaware of other places using the name 'clappers' .. unless someone knows better.

What Carllo said. If it is not necessary to change something, it is necessary not to change it. Some jobsworth pocketing public money to achieve less than nothing.

At least next year when you swap your Gold Card for a Senior Railcard you'll be able to get a little further for your tenner. The 60+ Oyster boundary stretches a remarkably long way in places. Though it's always possible any fare rises will wipe out the benefits.

I tried to figure out the right order in which to read the paragraphs.
I failed! But enjoyable all the same.
No mention the wind so presumably this was a different weekend from the one just passed?

I had wondered why Surrey Hills was no longer classed as an AONB, and am reassured that this area of the North Downs remains unsullied by development.

A brilliant area for walking in, I'd highly recommend the Chiltern Way if you fancy more walking outside of London. Nearby Barton and Pegsdon hills are lovely too.
AONB is such a well known abreviaton, whereas National Landscape means nothing. The whole country is a "national landscape". Maybe it should have been "National Protected Landscape" or "National Landscape of Beauty".

A good description of what sounds like a glorious walk. I don't think the weekend storms reached as far east as this - most of southeast England had a very warm day without the strong winds that affected the rest of the country.

Withdrawl of a spoken-to fox sounds normal behaviour to me, so maybe the double negative of "not unsurprisingly" is a mistake.

I wonder how much further £10 will take you next year when your 60+ pass and Senior Railcard arrive.

Chhosing a walk by how it looks on the map is perfectly normal in my book, though it occasionally disappoints.

To Carllo and David B (the "kneejerk dismissers"):
The motivation was the 2019 "Review to consider the next steps for National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) in England." available here. Happy reading!
Oh, and while Mikey C may have a vaild point, AONB was also an unknown acronym at some time in the past.
