The #Dovestone fire is absolutely KILLING the air quality across large parts of the Dark Peak. Running near Marple last night was dreadful. A nice view of Mellor Cross, but Manchester itself was completely lost in the haze ☹️
Some glossy. Completely wasted on a peasant like me. But I did get some champagne and some aperols 😎 The hotel they put us up in was definitely not the Travelodge 🤯
Just found out we made Pick of the Week in the @theguardian.com 😍
And it was lovely to spend some time with (L) @volcanologist.bsky.social and (R) @drnatashadowey.bsky.social 🔥
As the wine reception started, I may have got gotten a bit carried away on the yellow carpet 😅 📸: @drnatashadowey.bsky.social @volcanologist.bsky.social
🎬 LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! 🍿 The British Museum for the world premier of the major new NatGeo/Disney+ show, #PompeiiOutOfTime with the very handsome, dapper, and downright lovely, Tom Hiddleston! Out next week, we got a sneak preview of the first two episodes. It's pretty epic tbh...🌋
I’d like to think that deep, deep down inside, Jimmy had a lovely time trail running with me in the Peak District when it was 30 degrees 😬
Greetings from this view from near Mellor Church, Mellor, Stockport. #RunSky 🏃🏾♂️
It’s for a show about Pompeii. The premier is being held at The British Museum… Also:
This song was in my head all weekend. Not super hard to play, but I find it impossible to hit Guy Garvey’s almost magical intonations! #Elbow
A weekend away camping at Lathkill Dale in the Derbyshire Dales ⛺️ The so-called “White Peak” is dominated by Lower Carboniferous carbonate and the superimposed karstic landscape 🪨 🌧️ It’s a deceptively stunning part of the Peak District, which I was fortunate to grow up quite near to! 🖤
Stockport is getting treated too! We had the Tour of Britain go by our house a few years back!
Some (sweaty) official pics from Saturday’s race 📸 My wife pointed out that my dark skin means you can’t see how red I am 😅
Every day over the past week or so we’ve had a message like this. Often twice as long and twice as convoluted. And it’s not restricted to this year; messages like this are a common occurrence every summer. Just get a summer uniform and be done with it. Or dispense with uniforms altogether…
I always knew the Lake District is possibly the most expensive place to stay in the UK...but the prices for *youth hostal* rooms are still pretty eye-opening 🫠
Spicy adventuring with Prof Krevor in the glorious Derbyshire Peak District ☀️ Even ran across the tops of some spectacular metre-scale cross-beds in Upper Carboniferous gritstone 🤓 #RunSky
Overnight in London in one of those capsule/coffin hotel rooms…and then a sweaty run along the mighty River Thames 🏃🏾♂️
