“This film follows our self-supported attempt to cycle 1000km (600 miles) around England’s hilliest coastline – the South West Coast! Join us on our seaside cycle tour and see if we survive pedalling through Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and Dorset on our 65kg touring tandem!”

NPR: A meteorite crashes through a home in Canada, barely missing a woman’s head. “It turns out that the 2.8-pound space rock, about the size of a small cabbage, was part of a meteor shower identified by Alan Hildebrand, a planetary scientist in the Department of Geoscience at the University of Calgary, and his colleagues. The group said the trajectory of the meteorite that hit Hamilton’s house would have made it visible throughout southeastern British Columbia and central and southern Alberta.”
