Winding down

Following the last report a couple of weeks ago at reference 1, lockdown continues to unwind here in Epsom. As can be seen from the cumulative record of brick movements, snapped above. Cycling has more or less replaced the morning brick walk, and the afternoon one is all too apt to get knocked out by something or other. Maybe, even, a visit to Epsom Town to see how the market square refurbishment is getting on - with completion rather overdue now. More than 50% overdue even. With a couple of dead trees at the bottom of the shiny new terrace outside Wetherspoons as a bonus. See reference 2.

A total of 2,208 bricks, 293,664 horizontal metres and 6,576 vertical metres. Just about the height of the Sickle Moon Peak in the Kishtwar National Park, Jammu or Kashmir in India. With the snap above being testimony to the newly discovered wheeze of copying map references from Wikipedia to gmaps. The brown bits are mainly the sunny northern walls of big valleys and the white stripes are the glaciers running down into them. But no streets, so no Street View. With the peak being first climbed by a team from the Indian High Altitude Warfare School in 1975. Presumably the trainers of the people who have to stand around their big guns in the high altitude snow, facing down the Chinese on the other side of the border.
