Fyi @SouthCambs@jdjhiston - Kings Hedges Road, South Side, under the trees. Surprised its South Cambs and not Cambridge. Colossal amount of fly tipping, much is years old.
Could add loads more pics if you need. Have eventually manages to report it through your website. It'll be awfully hard to deal with this when the undergrowth grows back up in Spring. There is A LOT of waste. A lot.
I had a walk in and out under the trees there and liberated assorted inflatable balls (footballs, rugby balls, a volleyball) that'll be cleaned, pumped and hoiked out onto the playing fields where kids will find them...
...otherwise I disturbed the site minimally (as its obviously an environmental crime site, as it were), just enough to get in and out. Would suggest site needs not only a huge clean up but a plan - it LOOKS like a lot of waste came over garden fences.
One last thing @SouthCambs@jdjhiston - if I pop out that way again on todays once-per-day permitted outdoor exercise would some 'what three words' location references be of use?

Covid-19 deaths and infections are settling in to pretty regular trends right now, but explaining what that really means will take a moment or three. Here's the overall picture (1)
Have a look at that on a log graph - note two different scales here, but its important you get a closer look at whats happening (2)
A straight line on a log plot means a constant proportional rate. It turns a constant curve into a straight line. So a linear graph might be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, but a straight line on a log plot would be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16. (3)
I've been trying to fit trends to whats happening with Covid-19 data in the UK and I think we may just be seeing some trends emerge. Here's the overall picture - recorded cases and deaths continue to fall (1)
Here's a closer look at the recent trends, on a log scale. You can see that there's a straight line for how fast cases are declining on the log graph, making it a regular proportional drop, whereas deaths are still curving downwards (2)
What does that mean? Well in terms of positive test results it means we saw a fall in positive tests from around the 4th to the 17th of January, and while that fall continues now its no longer accelerating, its more or less a constant 4% fall per day now. Roughly. (3)
Another 1035 deaths due to Covid today in the UK, taking us up above 80,000. We're used to it, but we shouldn't be. Here's the overall picture. See how fast the red line (average 7 days deaths) is rocketing up (1)
Have another, closer look at that trend. Its terrifying, right? (2)
Thats 6,254 in the last seven days. 893 per day. And it continues to accelerate. For context Japan has lost 3,746 people IN TOTAL. (3)
Projected dead from Covid-19 today would be 561-658 based on average 14 and 7 day rises and last Saturday. BUT thats not really indicative of anything. Saturday was a low reporting day, being the day after NY...
Some of the higher numbers on other days this week were delayed reporting due to that. The average is still -terrifying- and does represent a big increase in deaths...
...but I will be frankly astonished if we don't go well above projections today. Tomorrow and Monday are likely to be relatively low (but still big rises on last Sunday and Monday), whereas later in the week the numbers are horrific. Might be approaching or past 2000...
The single worst day of the Covid-19 pandemic in Britain. Record dead (1325) and record infections (68053). Here's the overall picture (1)
Deaths are rising exponentially. Today was 600 deaths above even the wost trends would have suggested, and it means we're over five and a half thousand deaths on a rolling 7 day basis. (2)
Which makes todays 7 day average death total of 809 the 17th highest average total. All of the others were clustered adound the first wave peak (3)
Unless Johnson plans to resign I've little interest in hearing his press conference. His monstrous mishandling of our Covid-19 crisis (another 1162 dead today) is beyond inept and into murderous. Here's the overall picture (1)
Thats the highest daily total of all second wave and the second highest daily total overall. Only topped once, 1224 on the 22nd of April. The never-ending second wave of infection has killed about as many as the first now. (2)
Deaths are increasing exponentially and unless this slows very soon and very quickly we are looking at biblical totals (3)
