Thanks! I lived there one summer, so it was great to rediscover that area

The amazing air ambulance and mountain rescue folk came to get me after I crashed on the moors a few year ago 🤕 A good cause to support, if you can..

Final £400,000 push for new Yorkshire Air Ambulance base near Thirsk

It will replace the charity's rented facilities at RAF Topcliffe where it has been based since 2012.

Ha, I’m stuck in the valley

Woke up to a beautiful, chilly morning so decided to run to town, downhill all the way! #trailrunning

Thank you!

A fascinating subject, well worth a listen..

northbnd @northbnd.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

It's a great event, will be my 5th time there. Whinlatter always sounds tough!

northbnd @northbnd.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

If you tear it up and post it back to them at their Freepost address, it costs them money - just saying..

Yay, booked my first event of 2027, heading back to the Keswick Mountain Festival #trailrunning #fellrunning

Some cooler weather would be welcome here!

It’s really warm out - my layers were overkill 🥵 #trailrunning

Superb. I had nearly 3 weeks there in September, running and hiking.

northbnd @northbnd.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Good morning. Magnificent mushrooms have appeared in the forest!

Inky cap mushrooms

northbnd @northbnd.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

With Sunday surfers too! Love that area, it’s the best.

northbnd @northbnd.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

A couple of positives from today’s slow effort.. I got though it despite feeling awful (sickly headache) and the autumn sunshine is perfect - perked me up for the last mile ☀️ #trailrunning

Lots of huge positives in the Burnham speech but even better is watching media heads exploding and trying to immediately undermine and unpick it all with “but how! but how!” 😂

Twice around the lake and woods, the misty silence was broken by a full-on actual Arab sheik who kindly said I was “very fast” as I ran past (I’m really not 😂) #trailrunning

A domed bandstand or perhaps it's going to take off!

Exactly this. I’d love to be a sophisticated just one glass (or biscuit) person, but it cant do it!

It’s a bit horror movie, is there another way round?? 😂

northbnd @northbnd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Yesterday I had reasons to drive up to Cumbria so swung by the brilliant Brilliance of Birds exhibition at the Rheged, which was well worth it 🦅

northbnd @northbnd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Thank you, cooler out, a bit of sunshine, all good 😊

northbnd @northbnd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Great bands, I rarely meet anyone who has heard of them but I am in the UK so could be why

northbnd @northbnd.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
