@edwest You can cycle from Guildford to Shoreham, does that count?

@FondOfBeetles Great piece. It's very much religious. One of Darwin's big lessons was that humans are just another twig on the tree of life. 200 years later that still hasn't really, properly sunk in, imo, and it's still seen as a bit shocking to baldly and unapologetically say so
