    @davidgibbon3796 12 дней назад

    3 bits of history to add to your otherwise great analysis. First - though as the man caught with the gunpowder, Guy Fawkes is the more famous plotter, it was Robert Catesby who led the plot. They sought to replace an authoritarian protestant regime with a far more oppressive and corrupt catholic one. Second - religious toleration enjoyed in Britain today started with the catholic emancipation movement - which was largely started by Thomas Paine in Lewes. Third - bonfire all but died out in the early 19th century, when the celebrations were closer to Halloween in style - people's begging for food and alcohol from rich people rather than children for sweets, followed by a drunken evening round the Bonfire. In the 1820s, the Cato street conspiracy attempted to assassinate the government, similar to the gunpowder plot. In Sussex in particular, bonfire saw a revival. But with new rich from the industrial revolution, the rich didn't hand out food and alcohol anymore. So bonfires became riots and were outlawed. Smuggler hooped Guernsey's with blacked out faces were a disguise against 300 metropolitan police officers who failed in their attempt to stop the event. So it was made legal again, but the new costumes were used to transform it to the processions of today. From there, costumes have become more elaborate to make it more of a show. Though it may not look like it, bonfire today celebrates today's religious freedoms. It does this by celebrating the failure of the gunpowder plot, while highlighting and in some ways reenacting the almost equally intolerant "sensibilities" of the time. The past is there to be learnt from. How do we learn from it if we don't know it - warts and all. As an aside - the aim of the gunpowder plot was not just to assassinate the king, prince of Wales and parliament. They also planned to capture Princess Elizabeth and put her on the throne as the plotters' puppet.

    Really useful review, thanks. All the more useful as your chosen ride is on my doorstep! The media marketing machine has gradually chipped away at my self-control and has convinced me that I'd like a gravel bike too. I love my modern MTB but am often frustrated by how sluggish it is. I miss having a road bike, the lightness and stiffness but really don't trust today's traffic and crummy potholed roads to get back into road riding. I can definitely imagine how alien it feels with head down bum up depending down wet chalky mud. I guess the trick is to know when to pick the best bike for the conditions or route. Like you I've not ridden on road for decades. I wonder if I'm remembering the best bits with rose tints on! Hmmmm.... I need to do more research. Thanks for sharing your honest views, great stuff.

    • @themuddycyclist
      @themuddycyclist 18 дней назад

    Why? If you are riding off road or unsurfaced roads use an xc hardtail ,better on steep climbs , downhills, and bouncy roads......and are not heavier than a gravel bike which is just a road bike with nobbly tyres.... Ok xc is slower on smooth long roads, but the UK isnt Kansas.

    • @themuddycyclist
