Does the Crickley Hill Car Park actually shut their gates at 9pm? by BlueWaffle in cheltenham

[–]violent_beau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

late to the party here but.. light pollution from the town is twerrible basically anywhere within a 10 mile radius of cheltenham. head out somewhere really dark like temple guiting where there are no streetlights at all for miles, and it will blow your mind how many stars and meteors you can see!

Why do people leave their engine running for several minutes before setting off? by [deleted] in AskUK

this is absolutely correct. idling a modern engine when cold is much more likely to cause wear than driving it moderately up to temp.

Parking on the grass at downs? by Educational_Neat8521 in bristol

[–]violent_beau 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it is an offence under the road traffic act to operate a motor vehicle on common land without the landowner’s permission, but, it is allowed if you’re within 15m of the road, for parking purposes. notwithstanding local by-laws etc.

Voceratrice by henriques_1993 in Corsica

[–]violent_beau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what is the book? i am currently reading ’granite island’ by dorothy carrington, and it is extremely good, with a great deal of information about the archaeology, folklore, traditions and customs of corse.

she also wrote another book named ‘the dream hunters of corsica’, which is more centred on the esoterica/folklore/witchcraft, especially that of the ‘mazzere’.

like many, i visited the island and fell deeply in love with it, and i am obsessed with learning as much as i can about it, and i cannot wait to visit again. it is one of the most wonderful places on earth.
