My mum and sister want to borrow our giant 6 man tent, so I brought it over and put it up.

Unfortunately two segments of the poles have split down their length. It’s been bodged with some gorilla tape, but it appears replacement segments exist, so if the poles fail completely I’ll look at fixing them.
Went for a walk around a disused mine and rubbish dump nature reserve. The place has a bunch of paths around various fenced off bits of ground with warning signs.



This nice pool of water was quite obviously an opencast mine at some point, and those mysterious black pipes are all over the side of what was until recently an active landfill site.
I need to go back and do further exploration.
Went to the allotment, planted some potatoes, a rhubarb plant and weeded the garlic.
