The River Ivel. I didn’t even know about this river, a few miles from home, until last month.

Savage weather out there today. Had to turn around and take shelter as I was being blown over.

Happy #australiaday - one of the best trips ever over this Xmas and New Year. I have not posted any of the blog posts I intended because of the #bushfires - I might revisit the place we went to in the light of the fires in the near future. Anyway here’s to an amazing country…

Is it normal that I slept on a bench in the garden at the weekend? .

The woods can be silent and spooky in the day and a riot of noise at night thanks to bats, laughing kookaburras, possums, cicadas and more

Finally managed a good tramp across a soggy Cambridgeshire in today’s perfect winter sun. .

@Ruettinho Hi - I am looking for a German sports writer for a possible collaboration. Could you DM me?

[Tom Smallwood @ACMountaineer]

The view from the afternoon - looks marvelous - actually annoyingly windy for packrafting on a lake

@WomaninProg @DannyDutch Nice one, could be one my Dad’s :)

[Tom Smallwood @ACMountaineer]

@DannyDutch Happy to that fore-edge painting is alive and well - my Dad does it. This could be one of his, I’d have to check :)

Oooh, look what the postman brought! Just got back from a work trip to find a complete Mantis hammock system from the awesome people at @kammok - hope to test next week!!

@AshRouten I think we may be reaching the end of humankind.

Yesterday in my tiny little dead-end street I counted 9 dead bumble bees. Is something going on? @wildlifebcn #DontStepOnABeeDay
