Do you think the driver mistook the yellow and black stripes for a wasp?

I just read that for the first time ever, magnetic north, true north and grid north will combine at the same place this week. Langton Matravers. Be there or miss your chance forever.

And then I discovered on the OS site that there's a chap cycling every OS map in numerical order. I'm sure much of the riding will be highly mundane.

I've seen maggots used in hospital to clean deep wounds. Watching an otherwise immobile limb "moving" under the dressing always seems odd.

Though apparently the lines will converge gradually further and further northwards. @Illaveago won't even have to go anywhere....
After making landfall at Langton Matravers, the triple alignment will pass northwards through Poole by Christmas and then Chippenham and Birmingham before reaching Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire in August 2024. It will pass though the Pennines before leaving the English coast at Berwick-Upon-Tweed a year later in August 2025 and it does not hit land again until around May 2026 at Drums, just south of Newburgh in Scotland. After passing through Mintlaw its last stop in Scotland and the landmass of Great Britain is Fraserburgh, around July 2026.

Wouldn't that depend on the bicycle used?Yup, that's the one that comes in at #4. Part of the problem is that the road slopes down to get under the railway, and the steel girders do a very good job of slicing the top off any vehicle that's even just a gnat's todger too tall.
Was it last year, someone wedged a double decker bus under one of the railway bridges on the disused railway line between Winchester and Alresford. The road in question isn't a single track, but anything remotely high sided needs to drive in the middle of the road to have a hope of getting underneath.
On a bicycle though, there's ample clearance.
Mind your head!

I've heard of that too but didn't realise that it had actually gained acceptance within any NHS hospitals.

Not sure I'd want to be riding Winchester to Alresford on either of those...
Brilliant though, but utterly bonkers...

And just think of the apple picking opportunities they'd give.

First seen in the Infirmary, in 1995.
A fair few squeamish people who'd work with parts hanging out where they shouldn't, but wouldn't touch the dressing to check it.
