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

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 🤣

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.

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 🤣

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?! 🤣
