This one is for @JhnBssll: My bike in front of the Bosch PowerTools HQ.

Taken early this morning so it was in deep shadow: that's my excuse anyway. Ride report follows when I've got some energy.

Haha excellent. I'll think of you next time I'm there I doubt I'll have the opportunity to fit a bike in my carry on luggage unfortunately

I'd offer to loan you a bike but I'm a hobbit, as you can probably tell from the picture above so most people wouldn't fit my bike.

My bike in front of a Lister Diesel engine - one of the few things that can rival a Harley's ability to convert fuel into noise!

My Trek Infront of some fungi

I don't even know what it is..

Lurking in the hilly woods of Northern Spain.
I'm assuming some sort of storage - for chestnuts perhaps..

Very solidly built with air venting from underneath.. Any other ideas anyone??

My immediate thought, -I hasten to add with no real knowledge of such things- was "Charcoal burner" or "Lime Kiln" based on the construction/ventilation, but it looks a bit voluminous for that.

Yes, I think given the size of it, if it was used for firing anything at that volume it would have burnt itself down, with that much heat.

Although it could, I s'pose, have had only small controlled fires inside just for smoking produce, perhaps..

I'm afraid I didn't crawl inside to investigate..

And there's no way I'm cycling back up those hills for a second look

Boy they must have some real bad ass squirrels

All squirrels are bad ass nutters, it's their job after all.

This is why it's so hard to produce viable nut crops in UK..
