Top day out at @wembleystadium with @DBaxter76, @RaifeBaxter
& @baxter_erynn for the #RugbyLeague #Ashes series. Not the result we hoped for, #Australia definitely a step above! But some great #Rugby, a top #Cuppa, @bovril_official and #Burger so not all bad!

A top day out at #OldTrafford with @dlbaxter76, @erynn_baxter, & @raife.2007 for the @superleague #GrandFinal. Not the result my #Princess wanted for @wiganwarriorsrl , but a cheeky pint helped, and a top #Burger & #Cuppa were found as always! #RugbyLeague

A brilliant night with the Royal Albert Edward Chapter 1362, at the #Nutfield #Masonic centre, #Surrey.
A fantastic welcome, great people, so much history, stunning views, and a amazing dinner to finish! Winning a nice bottle of #Whisky in the raffle was a bonus to! #Freemasonry

Top day at #ShiteHartLane for @Vikings v @Browns with the family for the #NFL! Managed to steer clear of the ticket debacle & power Hungry stewards! A banging #Burger & cheeky #Donut, a little bit of @raye at half time, and somehow my princess's team, sneaked the win! #AGoodDay!

Well in celebration of coming 14th overall and 5th in the men's #TrailEscape #Marathon #Hike (which really wasnt expected or the goal) it can only mean one thing!!! ...... #Burger time! #Hiking

Well that course was designed by a sadist! But.... thats another #UltraHike in the bag! Severe right foot issues from mile 3, but 27.93m completed in 7h 31m in aid of #MindCharity via organisers #TrailEscape. Those hills were killers! Now time for dinner & some proper rest! #Hike

A nice little afternoon in #Sutton with @DBaxter76. A little mooch, a banging Pakistani #Curry at #Fillings, then #DowntonAbbey the grand finale on the big screen. A top #film and top #Cuppa to!

Well with just 7 days until the next Marathon #Hike in aid of @mindcharity it was time for the final training hike! A nice local 14 miler, through #Walton, #Tattenham & #Tadworth, a top #Pasty & #Cuppa at 10 miles, and a good time! Nothing left to do now, roll on next Saturday!.

With just 20 days until my next #Marathon #Hike this time for @mindcharity , it was time to get some more miles in! So a nice 21.5 mile speed hike in 5h 42m, around Bushey & Richmond park, then back along the Thames path! Seriously happy with the time & the #cuppa was good to!

Nice little gentle 8.5 mile circular stroll with @dlbaxter76 from #HamptonCourt though #Kingston & back. Nice little stop at the old haunt, #MoulinRougeCafe for 1st time in 15 years, still owned by same family & still remembered my "Usual"! All rounded off with a nice #Cuppa!

A good 7 hours up the #Allotment with the whole family today. All about starting to harvest the hard work & a good tidy up! Starting with #Potatoes #Mint #Beetroot #SpringOnions #Peppers #Leeks #Rhubarb #CurlyKale #Onions #Spinach & #Broccoli. All rounded off with a top #BBQ!

So proud of my #Princess! She put the graft in & passed all her #GCSE's & got what she needed to get to college! That deserved a cheeky day out shopping & mooching at #Lakeside, then a night at @chelmsfordcityracecourse
A few wins, nice #cuppa & banging #Burger #SoProudOfYou

Proper proud of you #Wingman! Finally found what you want to do and what you want, and what a first year! A distinction merit in #BTEC #PublicServices level 1. Now onto next year & level 2! You put the effort in & got what you deserved, proper proud mate. #LoveYa

Well, after the ladies of the house returned after 6 wks in Cyprus on Friday, it was time to give one them (@dlbaxter76 ) a reminder of real life! A cheeky day in #Margate, a little stroll, some proper #Seafood, a banging #Cuppa & finishing the day with #Seaside #FishAndChips! #WelcomeHome!

Well that was brutal! A cheeky 24.4 miles #hiked in 1 minute under 7 hours, which considering there was 5 paths that were no more, 1 missing bridge, several wrong turns & it was 27°, im well happy with! The #SausageRoll & #Cuppa were well deserved at the end!
#Hiking #Walking

Top afternoon at #PloughLane with my #Wingman @raife.2007 for #londonbroncos v #barrowraiders in the #Betfred Championship. A proper competitive match, a nice cuppa, a win for #London and a banging #mcdonaldsuk #burger to finish the day!
#RugbyLeague #ItsNotJustANorthernThing

A cheeky little, local 10 1/2 miler just to stretch the legs out and keep up some speed training. A few nice gentle hills, good views, clear paths and no bulls! Now time to get ready for an afternoon of #RugbyLeague with my #Wingman!
#Hiking #Walking #MarathonHikeTraining

Well despite loads of overgrown tracks, lace issues & being chased by a bull!, well happy with todays 22 mile #hike and in just over 6 hours! Perfect training for the next self funded challenge in September, doing the #TrailEscape #Marathon hike from Bristol to bath in aid of #Mind #Charity.

"Dad, I've seen this thing on #Tiktok in #Zizzis , can we try it?" #Wingman, lets do this! The prawns were top draw, his #StickyPig #pizza, which would feed the 5000 was spot on & my #Ravioli banging! Not quite a #burger but a top little jaunt out!

When your #Wingman does dinner and produces an absolute banging breakfast bap! #Sausage #Bacon #CheesyHashbrown #Blackpudding #Cheese.
#AbsolutelySpotOn!

Top day out with my #Wingman. The 424 mile round trip through monsoons & armageddon worth it to finally see #CastlefordTigers get a win in the #SuperLeague, and with the bonus of a bangin #burger at #fiveguys , a proper #bovril and a good catch up with Phil!

Today a cheeky off the cuff trip to the #Oval for @surreycricketfd.bsky.social #T20 #VitalityBlast match against @somersetccc.bsky.social with my #Wingman. A top afternoon, nice weather, good game, a win for the #Rey & its never to hot for a nice #Cuppa! #EnjoyedThat #Cricket #Surrey

Another blinding hiking tee to add to the collection from Baz at #companysuisse Decent quality, speedy delivery, good prices. Could you ask for anymore? #ThanksMate

Cheeky little afternoon in #Brighton with @dlbaxter76 today. A little stroll and some fresh sea air on the front , nice #cuppa, top #Burger in #Wimpy and little bit of #Quadrophenia nostalgia!

I would like to thank everyone who donated to my #charity #MightyHike around the #GowerPeninsula in aid of #macmillancancer. It was brutal in places & after wanting to just get under 10hrs i did it in 8h54 & out of 1214 finishers, i came 59th amd thanks to you raised £1242.44! #Thankyou

Top day in the land of #GavinAndStacey .... #BarryIsland! A Cheeky cuppa in #Marcos, lovely #FishAndChips by the sea, a game or 2 in Nessa's #Slots, a bit of #CrazyGolf, all finished off with a look at some of the filming spots!

Well that was a tad brutal! But the #MightyHike around the #GowerPeninsula in aid of #macmillancancer is done! Rain finally stopped at 21 miles, and some of those hills/cliffs were something else, but seriously happy with 8h55 with 40 mins worth of stops! #Hiking #Walking

A top little birthday & pre marathon hike day! 1st stop #onlyfoodnsauces #Chepstow for an absolutely banging #Burger! Then onto #BigPitMuseum for a bit of #Mining before registering for tomorrow, followed by a cheeky dinner in @askitalian.bsky.social #Swansea! Now its rest time before the off!

Just a normal night with my beautiful #Princess @erynn_baxter
