What’s New

An improvement in page load speed from August 2023 with the purchase of Autoptimize Pro plugin. The blog had been very slow and now with Autoptimize Pro the images are being automatically optimized and cached. So far so good, still could be better if anyone has advice I’d love to hear.

Embedded 360 images from Google Maps appears to be working again – yippee!

The transfer of old posts from Blogger to WordPress has stalled due to my laziness. There are 11 remaining and I will get around to it. Until then apologies for the posts that still are older format.

The blog section previously called the cellar and the vault is now The Museum.

I removed the Euro style cookies notification. Not needed for a totally free zero advertising site.

Known Issues

The Museum pages have a display formatting problem with the thumbnails – I am still trying to find a solution.

The new image CDN has improved the WordPress problem of images not displaying but sometimes image loading stalls and you need to click reload.

Ad blockers may affect page load speed – I have zero advertising so you can speed access by setting my site in your ad blocker to allow ads which there are none.

FAQ

I don’t understand the menus? – look at the site map. (note this site is always evolving)

The site loads slow? – you need minimum fast 4G or broadband to view this site.

How can I download your GPS routes? – link is in the Contact menu.

Do you have a YouTube channel? – No I find GoPro motorcycle videos contrived and boring.
