Shouting from the Shed
Hi again,
Oh, to be in England, now that April’s there! Each year April climbs further up my leaderboard of ‘favourite months’. Warmth, greenery, renewal, and longer lighter opportunities to ride my bike… I hope you are feeling the same way!
Thank you to everyone who has donated to my Patreon, which helps pay for the running of this newsletter. It means that I can continue to keep it free for everyone.
Pip, pip, tally ho! If a friend forwarded this to you, why don’t you allow me to hand-deliver it, crisp and fresh, next time?
Here are a few things I’d like to share with you today:
- PLAN: How To Hit The Road: A Beginner’s Guide To Cycle Touring & Bikepacking.
- DO: Join the One Bag Challenge this April.
- WATCH: Incredible explorers and tight squeezes.
- READ: Discover the world’s first off-road cycling club.
- WATCH: Meet Heinz Stücke, the patron saint of long-distance cyclists.
- DO: Support campaigns like Right to Roam and Kinder in Colour.
And some quick snippets…
- Pro Writing Aid is a helpful tool for writers.
- Admire enhanced photos from Shackleton’s expedition here.
- Write a letter to your future self via FutureMe.
- Explore global misconceptions with Gapminder.
- Check out these wondrous photos.
Thank you for reading! As Austin Kleon says, “This newsletter is free, but not cheap.” If you enjoyed it, please share, subscribe, or consider supporting via Patreon.
Cheers,
