One of the pleasures of fieldwork in Scotland is the views. Here is Ben Challum today from Glen Lochay. Bit cold as the sun didn't reach us until 10.40.

For 101 years, ecologists have sought to explain the 3-4 years multi-annual cycles of voles and lemmings. In our paper, doi.org/10.1073/pnas..., we find that Density-dependent recruitment, but not survival drives cyclic dynamics in a field vole population, overturning accepted wisdom.

Lots of fruit on the trees in East and North Yorkshire - hips, haws, sloes, crab apples and even pears. Anything with a deep root seems to have had a good summer. Shallower rooted blackberry has lots of fruit but often withered or tiny.

Found #bracken sporing today near Robin Hood's Bay. Only the third time I've seen it in 35 years of working with the plant and obsessively turning over fronds at this time of year. We know high temperatures increase sporing. Is this a response to the warm summer. Anyone else seen it sporing?

Finished back in Scarborough just before the rain arrived. A few hills to start with and then the cinder track (old railway) between Whitby (pictured) and Scarborough. 41 miles today and 253 over the last six.

Just 40 miles today, but lots of steep hills (max 25%) through the North York Moors. Morning was complicated by having to find a way round the World Gravel Bike Championship being held in Dalby Forest which had closed paths and even some road. Only a little rain late on and rarely a headwind.

Forgot two sets of thanks for yesterday's ride. First to whoever flailed the hedge next to the cycle path into Driffield and covered it in thorns🤬. Second and a proper thanks to the owner of the Cheeky Squirrel cafe in Driffield who saw us pondering where to chain the bikes and came out to help.

Sunny morning followed by some short sharp showers. Wind was in front, from the side or behind as we zigzagged through the East Yorkshire countryside. Pretty villages but fairly dull farmland except for a short bit through the Wolds. 46 miles.

Day three. 42 miles. First part down to Spurn but not all the way to the point as there is no road. Headwind for this bit, but then alternating crosswind and tailwind for the end of the day. Stayed dry, though a fee miles north got drenched.
