@tes @NEUnion The best decision I made was leaving the UK to teach. There are so many more opportunities elsewhere, and it’s easier to create a better life while embracing a broader perspective.

So, I've finally got around to doing some writing. Here is a short review of the Salomon Activ Skin 12-litre Trail Running vest.

@StagecoachCNL Thank you for your excellent communication and prompt, proactive service. My lost property was returned this morning on time, by courier, and without any issues.

I can't fault you! 🙂👍🏻

Views for days at the top of the Roaches trig point. I love this view and all that it brings. 🏃‍♂️

I enjoyed another good trail run over rocky paths and undulating terrain yesterday. The scenery was fantastic, and the weather was too. 🏃‍♂️

Yesterday's trail run mix of 15km was pretty special. Not a soul around, simply the sights and sounds of nature. 🌳🏃‍♂️

Bergse Plasloop 10km 🏃 It was a local run and a great little event covering 5, 10 and 15km. I went off faster than I'd expected, but once in my stride, I was comfortable maintaining it. Very pleased! 😊 #running

@TimMcKenna01 My cycle commute ends here every morning on the West Coast. It is a joy to cycle in the Netherlands, except when it rains and the wind blows. 😊

@TimMcKenna01 Welcome to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 Enjoy! Fine weather, too. ☀️

The hike up to the top of the Flizenkogel with views of the Edel Hütte and impressive Ahornspitze located behind. Such a fantastic hike from the valley town of Mayrhofen.

As I stand on Grindon Moor, a captivating sight unfolds before me—the summer rain gracefully sweeping closer. Nature's gentle rhythm soothes my soul, reminding me of life's impermanence and the beauty in embracing every passing moment.

Above the Lakeland fells, nature's canvas unfurls with breathtaking views. Intricate patterns and vibrant colours blend to create a mesmerising spectacle—a reminder of our planet's boundless beauty and these infinite wonders waiting to be explored. #lakelandfells #aerialviews

I was mesmerised by the breathtaking cloud inversions over the Tux Valley, Austria. Nature's wonder at its finest! 😍☁️ #TuxValley #CloudInversions #Austria #Tyrol

A few weeks ago, I visited and Bouldered at the incredible Kletterzentrum in Innsbruck. It was a fantastic experience, so I have collected my thoughts here: https://t.co/FzoMLtRz6B
