You think you don’t want photos at the time, but it’s all good memories, right?

…with a camera! 👌🏼

Absolutely. Although i’d have stopped your Garmin first and synced it to Strava before pushing you in. I’m not completely heartless 🙃

The best bit was when the cyclist went past and almost stopped to see if you were dead, until I waved her past!

Yes. We were. We’ve been staying with them for a bit. It’s been fantastic.

It’s blumming hard work this supporting lark! Hoping to catch Laura, Kirsty and Ellie at some point today if I can.

We got up at 2:30am to watch @ultradamo.bsky.social finish his record breaking run in the Northern Traverse, and now I’m heading inland to try and find the girls coming across the moors.

Not sure he appreciated the “quack” as much as I thought he would 🤣

Told him he smells and said “quack quack”

Haha. I absolutely will do. I’ve added him to my tracker.

And today I’m up in North Yorkshire going to cheer on some friends who are heading across the country on the Northern Traverse event.

At the Five Trigs race yesterday we raffled off an A2 print of my Spine photo to raise money for Oldham MRT. We raised £400 from raffle sales, and in total they received a cheque from the race director for £1100. A great day all round. 🥰

I don’t know if he ever set up a Bluesky account actually! I’ll try remember to post some more over here too.

Mel Sykes @nuddypants.bsky.social · 03/04/2025
I’m ‘here’ as in still alive, yes 🤣 Keep forgetting about Bluesky though and tending to just use Instagram to post photos. You missed me?

I think I had 4 teas before I finally shuffled my fat ankles out of there. PS. Did you sign the Rydal guestbook?

Had a few days away in the sun riding a bike up some hills and eating many baguettes. All the good stuff 👌🏼

Nicki had actually made this brew for herself, but kindly donated it to me because I was staring at it 🤣

They’re all on the last page with all notifications switched off. Trying to limit use of them all so hide them from view 🤣

I keep trying to do the odd ‘tweet’ here, but it’s just remembering to open this app. What’s a post called here? Obvs not a ‘tweet’ but there must be a word for it?! 🤣

I’m following it over on X still. I can’t seem to get used to Bluesky 😭 Maybe I just don’t like change!!

I did want a bit of a challenge 🤣 Got what I’d been asking for, to the extreme.

Thank you 😊

Thanks, Dan. It’s definitely taking a while, but at least I can see my ankles again.

My print of me doing the Spine arrived! £20 from each print sold was donated to @OldhamMRT (who volunteered during the race) so thank you to everyone that bought one. 🥰

Hiya love. I didn’t. I curled up in a ball and waited to warm up. Made the food at Hawes more enjoyable when I got there though x

This is the one I have.

This is true. I’ve been trying to write a blog for 6 days and can’t even get the start sorted.
