I absolutely cannot imagine that a smouldering fire would last several weeks under the surface just to break out on a rainy day. Much rather a lightning could have struck. But who knows...
Yup. I'm a bit confused/surprised. But trying to find a logical reason for it. Unfortunate that it happened when I wasn't here. But where it was, I wouldn't have immediately noticed if I was here unless I was in that area.

I've seen fires re-start before from the rain breaking through the crust, but that's normally only a day or two afterwards.

Who knows. I suspect it will never be answered so I'm trying not to overly think about it. Just been out and checked all the edges again. I think I have it contained. Given up with the hot/burning middle bits, they should just burn themselves out. The dark actually helps, you can see the active parts - though thinking about it, heading out with the thermal camera (just put it on charge) would be a better idea as I'd be able to see where it's actually hot if it's under the surface.

Maybe because of this effect? Fire by rain :unsure:
When pressing hay on the field I was told to look during loading for heavy hay packages (we do the small ones one can lift by fork) and check for inside humidity as it may inflame itself later when stacked in the barn, i.e. due to the heat creating biological/chemical processes started inside.

If the scientist are right don‘t let the poodle puddle wild!

Err, I said I had just bought three of them. The company has just emailed me to say that they are no longer allowed to ship "bladed products" to residential addresses, only business addresses!

I have contacted my neighbour and asked if I can use his address as he runs a building services company from home.
Here is the relevant legislation:
Offensive weapons act 2019​
Delivery of bladed products to residential premises​
Bladed products​
Section 38 of the Act makes it an offence for a seller to deliver, or arrange the delivery of, 'bladed products' to​
residential premises or to lockers. The term "bladed product" is a new term introduced by the Act and specifically means​
an item with a blade that is capable of causing a serious injury to a person which involves cutting that person's skin.​
Bladed products are a subset of the wider range of bladed articles to which section 141A of the Criminal Justice Act​
1988 applies (i.e. any article with a blade or sharp point) discussed above.​
Who knew? I suppose it stops thugs from ordering machetes.
Has to be a registered business and not the local woodlands working group . .

After a couple of email exchanges they helpfully advised me that they could send it to my local corner shop . . sorted!

E-Mythique "Lightweight" build. Swapped the 170 Fox 38's to try 180 Zeb's ..

No mudguard. Swapped my loam lab bar ends, grips, granite stash tools for the super light Vitus grips. Swapped the Stem for a loam lab 35mm stem and added One up Carbon E-Bars - 800g saving ! (makes no difference, but it's slightly easier to move about when not riding it)

Also been playing with the DP C245 v3 display and Go+ - this introduced a new long range feature called "no assistance in anything but walk mode" .. fortunately I've just worked out how to fix that and have assistance again.

Went out today, looking southwest over Stoke Down, West Sussex, UK.

Chased these critters down the trail, they were everywhere.

It was mucky as hell after the recent rain, my Assegai was completely packed and effectively a slick! Bye-bye front and rear Assegai next week.

Good job I didn't have to brake doing this silly bit!

One of the few big trees left near Vancouver, Canada. CBC Trail, Mt Seymour. The woodwork was a little slippery with the mud that was tracked onto it making for an interesting decent into the woods today.

Seen a few places in UK where they have short sections of that wooden bits they cover it with Chicken wire as we call it . No stopping if you started sliding on that.
