Trashed 🤣

A pair of muddy legs and trainers on a wet slate floor

Elevation profile for a 4 hour run taking in two pointy hills

That was a wet, muddy, slippery slog - 1095m uppage, 42.2km, 4h 2m. Good enough

Corr, what a stunning bird, a melanistic Lapwing!

Plus ça change 🤣

A foggy scene, stony track leading up into thick mist with a few ghostly trees dotted about in the mirk

Grateful it’s not lashing down and mild enough to be back in shorts, but a bit of bluesky and a few rays of sunshine would be nice 🙄

Chapeau 🥳

Ohhhh nice profile!!

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Ye gods no, that would be masochistic. Type 2 enjoyment 😉

I don’t want the boss to know, but I very nearly enjoyed hill reps tonight 🫣

Bleary eyed one night I popped some eye drops into my eyes…except they weren’t eye drops, they were earwax drops….It was not pleasant

Plant-based here so nae goose eggs for me 😉

Photo of a dozen or so tiny, bronze coloured slime mold sporangia that look kinda like tiny cups on short stalks…the cups have covers. The slime mold is on a green, leafy lichen.

Slime mold, Craterium minutum on lichen, Parmelia sulcata. NWT, Canada.

The slime mold sporangia are only about 2 to 3mm high.

From memory some of the river crossings were a bit ‘interesting’, the Tungnaá was a bit of a clencher 🫣

A snowdrop with egg-yolk yellow central tepals

Thankfully this is sold out or I might have been tempted…

🥳🥳🥳 Far more enjoyable 😉

On a rainy grey February, a splendid parcel has arrived. What a relief… @pelagic.bsky.social @nfbr.bsky.social @nbntrust.bsky.social

Fingers crossed you get some sunshine soon Sue!!

Thats *another* one to add to my list 🤦🏻‍♂️

Beams of sunlight caught in the mist wafting through a stand of spruce trees

a white trig point, and two stone cairns atop a grassy knoll lit by some wintery sunshine

Sun-kissed runner with hills and sky behind

Elevation profile for a three hour run, plenty of uppage

Just three hours this Sunday, though crammed in a smidge under 900m of ascent. Much needed medicine after a sleepless night.

Funky plants in a mountain valley in Kenya, and a dodgy lad in a dodgier hat

Fresh faced youth being overwhelmed by cool plants on Mount Kenya many many moons ago

A challenge 🥳

After a trip to Keswick yesterday I’ll counter with these scorching uppers…
