Just got home from Knoydart 🥰 Glenfinnan to Inverie over 3 days with Mark from Team Walking. The last wilderness and mainland UK's most remote pub. Am pretty much speechless about this trip. Just amazing.

There must be something very wrong with me because I cant seem to resist being nosey when I spot something like this on the map 😆

A teeny tiny cow on a gate 😉😆 I didnt spot her jump from the top bar to the next one down, clearly a stealth ninja cow

Couple of lovely days up north. Walked Ambleside to Coniston on Saturday and Kentmere to Ambleside today. Stayed in the van at a rugby club one night and a school the next, both great and an excellent way for them to raise funds so I think its a win win. And decent weather too!

Things which went past while having my morning coffee. Puerto de Soller, Mallorca, Islas Baleares

Not sure whether the resolution will be lost on loading this but I *think* these are black vultures circling overhead, in the hills just outside Puerto de Soller 😁🤩

Where better to remember my mum a year on from her passing, than Mallorca - the island that she loved, where she spent so much time and where I can feel her presence all around ❤️

I like my hot cross buns cold and squashed, preferably in the van with a cup of tea 🫖 after a good walk. How do you like yours?

There is a theme emerging in my latest purchases ... what a combination, where to start?! Just need someone to write a "how to remember what you've learned when you are over 50 ...." book

The third and final event of a 3 race series at Salcey Forest today with Trail Paws Canicross Challenger. And 3 cool wooden medals which slot together to make a mega medal 😁 Still buzzing from running through the woods with my best girl 🐾❤️ Very well organised event, great fun

New book today from The Cabinet of Curiosities in Haworth. The smell in the shop is delightful and there is some really interesting stuff in there. Could have filled the van with all sorts of witchcraft and remedies but for now I will entertain myself with stories of poisonings .... 😆

Hey @northernfell.bsky.social 👋🏻 Hope you are doing ok. I had a little walk up to Pinhaw Beacon today and it made me think of you. Miss your lovely posts on twitter from the days when it was ok over there! Sending best wishes to you 😊

Favourite 4 from November ❤️ A month of Highlands, Hebrides and Lake District. Taking some time away from normality has been hugely beneficial in so many ways, back home tomorrow and feeling excited to see family and friends 🥰

Drove through Glencoe in the summer and thought it deserved a revisit. Cabin in the woods, dog, kettle, perfect 👌

Having a few days away in the north. Not doing what I hoped to be doing as feeling incredibly fatigued, physically and mentally. Instead am doing a lot of chilling and just being. And what a great place to do that. A steady walk, dinner at The Lion Inn and watch the dog watching the sun go down ❤️

First attempt at plum jam this evening as our plum tree is absolutely laden. Probably cooked for a little too long as it has slightly caramelised but it tastes ok (if you like your jam with a slight smoky toffee apple taste) 😆 Looking forward to another attempt ...

Feeling sad tonight. My 2nd DNF of the year. The first one I understood, 73 miles into the LDWA 100, a couple of weeks after my mum passed away. But today, not even halfway into 37 miles of Isaac's Tea Trail, I just couldn't find the mental strength to continue. Lovely route tho'

Pavilion Gardens parkrun (Buxton) this morning. Lovely trip out with a friend so plenty of nattering on the way, checked out some Well dressing, sampled the local water, admired the town, ran, drank tea, ate croissant, jabbered all the way home

LDWA Flower of Suffolk 100 miles, what an event! Made it to 70+miles at Orford before deciding I didn't have another 30 miles in me 😅 No regrets on the DNF, just some quite sore feet. Well done to everyone who took part 👏

Anyone else on here looking forward to the LDWA Flower of Suffolk event at the weekend? My training was interrupted and I wasn't feeling very confident but I've got to the point now where I'm just ridiculously excited about the challenge 😁😁

We spent a couple of days on an Outdoors First Aid course at the beginning of the week, enjoyed that. And today before heading home, a gentle explore of the Black Mountains, Lord Hereford's Knob to Waun Fach and back across to Gospel Pass. Very pleasant

Yesterday my wonderful fun loving mum sadly passed away. Although we had the opportunity to prepare ourselves over the last few weeks, it has hit me harder than I ever thought possible. I am going to miss her so much. I have been so fortunate to have had her in my life ❤️

Did anyone else learn about the burpee through this lovely book? Great childhood memory of doing these exercises. May have another go at reaching perfect fitness in just 12 minutes a day .... 😀

Oh this rollercoaster of a ride that dementia is giving us 💔 Ups and downs, those peaks getting smaller (but still there), those troughs getting deeper and more painful. Feeling very grateful to now have Marie Curie help alongside mum's amazing carers but my goodness this is a long and sad ride

Followed the sun round yesterday taking part in the Cyril Bean Coventry Way Challenge, a 40 mile loop never more than 5 miles from the centre of Cov but you'd never have known. Set off before the sun came up and finished after it had set. Should have taken more photos

Cracking trip to Leeds to meet up with ex colleagues from the best work days up here in the late 90s. Checked out some old haunts, nattered and laughed a lot, checked out ex boss Nick's record shop 😁 Pleasant!
