Ben Cottam

Busy day today in Birmingham with Canal & River Trust colleagues but not too busy not to take in the amazing surroundings of the city’s canals

Double delivery day from @archaeologyuk.bsky.social & @currentarchaeology.bsky.social for all the latest on UK #archaeology. Looking forward to getting stuck in!

Goodnight from #pembrokeshire 🌙 #milfordhaven #landscape

Thanks, James!

We've announced a new director for Wales & South West We've announced the appointment of Ben Cottam as the director for its historic canals spanning Wales & South West of England.

A new career step later in the summer for me. Leaving FSB after an enjoyable and fulfilling 9+ years but very excited to be taking up the role of Regional Director for Wales and the South West at the Canal and River Trust

#Thursday morning

Chasing the #sunrise on my #Easter morning run. A beautiful morning in #Pembrokeshire and a run on a deserted coast path was the best way to start the day #running #ukrunchat

A Happy #Easter to you all 🌅 #Pembrokeshire

Very cold out this morning but worth it for the view #Thursday #sunrise

Thanks, Toby! I’m glad it was the half rather than the marathon but a great day for a run nevertheless!

That’s the #NewportHalfMarathon done on a perfect day for running. Felt good today - my best time in a long while! Thanks to all the volunteers and supporters across the course! #halfmarathon #ukrunchat

#Tuesday morning. All aglow

A nice morning running in the beautiful #forestofdean for the #fodhalfmarathon. My first time running this event but hopefully not my last. Brilliantly organised with super friendly and supportive marshals. A great trail #halfmarathon in lovely surroundings #ukrunchat #running

A brilliant 15km run in perfect weather. Quiet lanes, sunshine and noisy birds! #sunday #onmyrun #ukrunchat

Sunrise #Sunday. A very cold night last night but a beautiful view out of the bedroom window. Just the right day for a run and some time in the garden.

For sure! Brilliant to see you!
