There's a mixture of posts about my artwork and fell running on there, most of the running being either in the Lakes or the Peak District with the odd bit of Highlands.
Just set up a Facebook page too for anyone on the social media sites! https://www.facebook.com/artofmurray if you click 'like' on the page it will notify you when I make new blog posts :D
La loop de Thirlmere. The Lake District is not all about the fells and the peaks you know :)

Cracking idea to start a 'spot the collie' competition to try to liven up your blog. I reckon behind the wall on the top pic and in the bracken on the other. What's the prize?
I am sure Stolly's collie isn't called spot.Quote:

Thought some of you might be interested in what I reckoned to be the most useful and best bits of gear I've been using this year are.

Just a quick thought.

you might not agree. then again, you might.
I trust your exam went well yesterday, and that you weren't distracted by the moors too much.Quote:

I recall there was a similar thread or blog somewhere about the BGR.

Just Maybe.
Exam went well, thanks, now just the last one to go on Thursday.
I remember the BGR thing, it becoming trodded out, and more like a trade route. Hopefully what you say about the trigger becoming older, less people will see the need to recce it, and the lines will go back to their less defined nature.
I get the sense that with Tanky's there was a lot more mixture of LE, Wild Boar, Torside. These days with Forums, blogs, etc. people are finding out about the good lines. Would The Trigger Crowden checkpoint officals have any stats about the people turning left to head to LE/Wild boar compare to those going the Torside route. My guess is the vast majority of the field turned left there.
[devil's advocate]
Maybe as it gets older and the 'best' line(s) become decided or widely known, these will get 'trodden in' rather than people ranging over a wide(r) area...? e.g. the trod up Lawrence Edge..?
[/devil's advocate]
I'm not a fan of trods becoming 'trodden in' as you say - there are lines up on the edge of Bleaklow which are clearly visible from my house about 4km away. These are trods, not paths marked on maps. I'm personally not a fan of running on rough ground but I'm doing my best to avoid the lines which are getting well worn.Quote:

Can somebody answer a question for me. When people put up photos on Flickr from, say Sunday's Trigger, can I legally swipe one to put on my blog?
