If they sacked Packham and put Iolo in charge I might watch it again. But not with Packham anywhere near it.

Thanks LB. I hadn't clocked Winterwatch had started. Yes, Chris is pretty intense. I'm enjoying Iolo's contributions the most recently.

Had a 5km "race" with a mate from a rival club this morning. Warming up round the circuit, i didn't want to do it, was very slippery on the...

We are always amused in our house by the farmer on Countryfile (Adam?)- always seems to have a paramo jacket to cover in animal poo.

Perhaps I am cynical but I assume if you can read the logo the wearer didn't pay for it.

Me neither :) Unless of course it was clearly Gorilla tape!

If I had one of those jackets I wouldn't be very happy if the producer stuck a piece of gaffer tape over the logo, thereby damaging the jacket

So am I! I think we are talking about the same car only I have Mercedes before McLaren. Either way it was far too quick for him.

That struck a cord with me too Llani as I've often noticed the vast array of posh outdoor jackets they're kitted out with. It brings into question...

Reports suggest it was a McLaren-Mercedes SLR but happy to be corrected.

It was his Mercedes NAZ 1 he wrecked in that accident on Ringinglow Road when he also left the scene leaving two people trapped in the other car. ...

I must confess that every now and again the BBC does appears in my good books. This week is one of those occasions with this years Winterwatch. I...

Something that Prince Nazeem misjudged very badly in his McLaren NAZ 1 resulting in a horrific crash and many would say far a too lenient jail...

One thing i've noticed on reps (and having a GPS watch has helped) When you get several reps in and you think you're slowing down, it can be...

My Garmin said it was freezing today, as in 32 F, and when I got back I wondered just how low my core temperature was, despite wearing a lot of kit....

A combination of tired legs, bitterly cold headwind and hills made for a sluggish Arkose bike ride on what otherwise was a glorious day! Out to...

Sun, shorts, Staffordshire, six degrees C. After the recent rain, that wasn't that heavy in these parts, the sun came out and we had a cloudless...

Just had a look at Carr Bridge Drive on Google Streetview. Found the grit bin; I reckon you should be turning right up Carr Bridge Close from there...

I did my Outwoods reps today (lunchtime, so I had the bright sunshine between the trees to my left): slightly longer and steeper than yours (0.3m,...

I think there's a lot to be said for that. Training does many things of course, but one of them is letting your body (and mind) know that it can be...

9.7 miles, 2,943 feet, 2 hours 54 minutes: to Brathay and back, then Wansfell Pike with twice up/down the steps. Overcast, with the odd patch of blue...

Carr Bridge Drive reps last night, 0.25m 110', 6 reps. Not a bad session all in all. I was hitting the right workrate at the crest of the hill and...

Spiral is absolutely brilliant. We’ve just finished season 3, the butcher of La Villette, and are jumping into season 4. As for bbc news (or...

We watch the BBC news at 6, mainly for FOMO, then the local BBC news at 6.30, which I think is very good, followed by Channel 4 news at 7 for a...

The irony is, aside from the BBC’s skewed political journalism which I definitely go way out of my way to avoid, we no longer watch anything on...

A cold but clear evening for tonight's headtorch run with a pal. We set off from Heathcote Mere and followed a series of bridleways before a steepish...

I love these days. My son made me aware of put a pillow on your fridge day. May 29th - don't forget. ...

Well myself and my wife like it along with both my mum and my daughter so it appeals to 3 generations here. I didn't warm to it immediately because...

Nah. If it's not on Sky Arts...:)

Ha, well you would - bet you have it your diary. I best not say anymore or the moderator may wake up from his slumber!
