The mud does wind me up a bit, but I know what I should be doing and how hard I should be working on every leg. The quality is there.

38m on the bike today. Over blubberhouses moor and up kex gill and over to addingham, back through Ilkley. Very cold.

How interesting. They're obviously pretty hardy then - and well fed seemingly. I'll keep an eye out next time I'm in the area.

Don't know about any quantifiable research but macaws and various other 'parrots' have been flying around the streets and surrounding countryside of...

A steady 13 miles today bought a very pleasing week to a close. 68 miles, a decent pb at 5km, and weight back under 81kg. Next week, i must get...

You must have a short memory

Having now listened to this, it seems the counter argument is that they're not causing any ecological damage. This seems tricky to judge. I'm...

I would have liked to have heard that (I guess I could find it on catch-up). It's an interesting case with parakeets - I can't really see an argument...

Snipe (I think) yesterday, again - up near Crag Hall. It flew up out of a patch of reeds enough for me to see the very long bill before flying back...

9.86 miles, 2,779 feet, 2 hours 57 minutes: Red Screes via Roundhill Farm both ways. Mainly sunny, not much wind, crusty/crunchy snow from about...

Packham was on Radio 4 Broadcasting House this morning, talking about parakeets and other introduced species. Perfectly sensible, rational bloke as...

I can't see any indication that he got that badger's full consent to A) have it's photo taken, or B)it's image published around the world. And...

I follow Chris Packham on Twitter and the vast majority of what he posts is very positive stuff about nature and retweets of others about the same....

Jack Dee Sent To Siberia was on last night. I really enjoyed it. Made by Tiger Aspect, the company behind Peaky Blinders. BTW. Has Andrew Marr...

The public perceive what they see on the BBC as the Gold Standard. My parents are prime examples. Maybe that is on the wane, but it still stands,...

Got all geared up for a bike ride today but as I was about to leave it started snowing and sticking onto very cold roads so some sensibility clicked...

I didn't realise he was in today's telegraph, but anyway, I don't like him or his preaching. So that's that.

I don't follow him, or anyone else for that matter, on social media but I can imagine he'll be all guns blazing.

Being paid to talk about products and not being transparent about it is a problem. The world is full of influencers. If he’s doing it consciously...

He is asked a question like "I couldn't live without my...and he replies "My Fitbit - I'm addicted..." He says that during his day he might...

So you mean he’s doing product placement?

Well well. I don't normally read the Telegraph colour comic but today the narcissist who thinks the world should know about his "My Saturday"...

Thats further than I would travel for a muddy run, and I live in Otley. I'm staying local.

Good point moley I’ll have a think about that. Cheers for the response

He uses his position on the BBC to peddle his own agendas on social media. If he was a political broadcaster on BBC and went home and started...

9m speed endurance today. An ACW loop of Thruscross starting and finishing at the Swinsty car park. I bonked at the 8m point which has never...

He is certainly very knowledgeable but I think if he gave up trying to be a stand up comedian he would be far more palatable.

Chris Packham is absolutely brilliant. So there!

Ha! Well, I think everyone has the right to like or not like Chris Packham. Which I think is possibly the point you’re making Graham? “I...

Mmmh. Well I've never watched Winterwatch in my life but Llani Boy and molehill don't like Packham so I don't see why that means I can't dislike him...
