Toad of Toad Hall - or Toad of Crag Hall, in your part of the world? Toot, toot!

I once, years ago, did the Wadsworth half trog, which normally is a complete bog-fest. That year was frozen solid - we were running on sheets of...

7.35 miles, 561 feet, 77 minutes: To Rydal and back, twice. Overcast, continuous light rain, no wind at this level. Some of the fields are starting...

The first year i did the Trigger it was more or less frozen over. The following year it was much milder (still bloody cold, but it's all relative!) ...

Two jays crawking on today's run. And a large swollen toad sitting by the side of the road. Maybe a very early sign of spring. Or maybe it had been...

Not sure if wellies or flippers would have been the more appropriate footwear for today's trog up to Buck Hill and the Outwoods. Anyway, I wore...

On a miserable day I was very pleased to see two Blackcaps this morning. Came in for seeds I had put out.

The statement from ECCU seems to have stirred things up a bit (on facebook anyway) Sounds like a group of elite female XC runners have thrown...

Ditto Pete, All the best pal.

Hi Ben Please say hello to Monty for me - great name. I’m gonna take our Nellie for her daily walk this afternoon, she’s 15.5 yrs old and still...

I carry the bigger bag, weight fairly even across both though. Balloon beds are a waste of time, but entertaining to hear others' pop through the...

Hopefully see you at a race soon Daz...!

Nice to hear from you Darren. Keep your chin up. I take it no ice baths lately? I once chatted with a fell runner at Pendle (FTO) who had a border...

I think the figures are all a bit back of a fag packet to be honest. In the Times today they quoted regional differences for vaccinations in England...

I cut my hand open on the descent from Scafell in the Borrowdale one year. The only way I could stop the bleeding was by gripping a palm sized stone....

Is the Pfizer vaccine still the most prominent of the vaccines? I'm not so sure. The huge increases in vaccinations generally in the last week would...

Mark Drakeford is probably a decent enough bloke for all I know (although an academic career lecturing in Social Administration?) and he's probably...

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23013953-gut I read this book recently which I found very interesting as a non-Biologist (my wife is an...

Obviously, protein is a very important part of better health, if we don't take the best nutrition foods we do not feel better, it reduces the cause...

Mr B. I hope you got a good run in on the Chevin on Sunday. We found, even in the madness of lockdown 1 when the Chevin was about 300% busier...

It's simple, the Welsh First Minister said they were deliberately limiting the roll out of the vaccine. That is stupidity of the highest order. ...

This morning's HIIT session thigh burner: Hostage squats. Jump your feet in and out, the width of a yoga mat, staying as low as possible in a...

I've just listened to the final ten overs of the Australia India series. Yesterday evening, India needed 328 to win on the final day against a...

I don’t think roll out speed of vaccinations for covid will have a great deal to do with devolution to be honest. It’s probably more to do with the...

Might it be that they haven't actually employed enough people yet (a decision informed by the knowledge of how much vaccine they have and when they...

That does seem to be the reasoning, as if one did use all the bullets and kill young Billy too quickly, then there would be no work for the deputies...

You're ahead of me on the side by side views, clearly I'll have to spend more time on it I read that somewhere too. I don't have any (known)...

Yes, it's disturbingly similar and it doesn't take too much thinking to see what's going to happen I have never used, or even thought of...
