Sorry Marco - we have a Forumite called Track Fairy aka Simon Deakin of Leeds and it's a term I'm used to using primarily because of Simon's ID on...

Crikey! Thanks for reminding me that I have a netful of bulbs that I have forgotten to plant!

Back on the Arkose for todays bike ride was a bit of a splash and dash affair on B, C and unclassified roads many of which had either standing or...

I concur that track races are incredibly tough. A Track Mile remains one of the toughest races i've ever experienced. However i totally agree with...

One daffodil head just breaking to show the yellow; first I have seen this year. (50 metres from the old Hademore level crossing, Graham).

I came to fell from middle-distance track running, (without passing 'GO' or collecting £200), so must question the use of the word 'Fairies'. It may...

The statement by ECCU somewhat echoed your views WP.... (and as you can imagine was roundly attacked by a lot of people... but also recieved plenty...

Lol. :D Yes, a few hundred yards from Crag Hall in fact. It all makes sense now...

The rules are equalised. If there was demand, initially someone could put on an open XC event and trial it. I wonder why Run Equal haven't...

Avocado - I don’t think it’s available in Chorley? Be careful around them rats...they’re nasty!

Heard today in a piece on radio that Wales had 3 of the 5 worst areas for covid in UK, with Rhondda Cynon Taff being worst in UK. They also had the...

Avocado works well too, though perhaps rather expensive if you have to buy one. But I'm also wondering about soap. I'm currently away from home and...

In fairness the logistics of vaccinating elderly in a a large rural area with low population density will be challenging. Taking a vaccine that is...

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...
