@Chris_Boardman Ha, thought it was you. Ran past you in a group of runners heading out on an ultra on Friday afternoon just outside Aviemore. Wish I had said hello!

@NicolaSturgeon @JohnSwinney Additionally, children featured in these photos live in bottom 20% SIMD areas of Scotland. Consider the impact a residential has on them? #NeverMoreNeeded

Scottish hospitality shutting down for 2 weeks @NicolaSturgeon & @JohnSwinney announce £40m in funding. Scottish OECs have had no income or relief funding for 6 months. Which has a greater societal benefit? Pub, or life changing experience at a young age? #SaveYourOutdoorCentres

@mikesurtees @psychovertical Really sad to see hitch and hike go, bought my first proper tent there 30 years ago and my first pair of rock boots too!!

February???!!! A stunning day in the peak running the Edale skyline.

[Andrew Thomson @atomadventure]

Stunning day for a run in the peak today, sunshine and powder. May well give the skis a go tomorrow! #vpd

[Andrew Thomson @atomadventure]

Managed to get on Cranberry crag for a quick climb post #MTA winter conference before heading south. Just like to say a big thanks to #Glenmorelodge and all the instructors involved for a great weekend of workshops and lectures.

@coynechris1 Must be golden ale Sunday!

[Andrew Thomson @atomadventure]

More like winter on today's run over Kinder. Ice developing on the downfall, few more cold days and it may just be in condition! #Peakdistrict #iceclimbing

@coynechris1 Back in good time to be a dutiful househusband as usual!

[Andrew Thomson @atomadventure]

Not quite the winter traverse of an teallach we were hoping for on Saturday but a cracking day out non the less! #scotwinter

[Andrew Thomson @atomadventure]

Points all sharp and ready for first trip north of year #scotwinter

[Andrew Thomson @atomadventure]

Cracking fun on st Sunday crag today with Matt and Dave, apologies for the photos but it was a wee bit damp!

[Andrew Thomson @atomadventure]

@tnewtondunn @FraserNelson My god, these people are truly shameless!

[Pete Crane @PeteCrane5]

My #CycleToWork in #Cairngorms this morning was slower than usual becuse I did a #2MinuteCleanUp on the way and sadly took a tad longer than two minutes and I didn't nearly finnish the job @KSBScotland

[Andrew Thomson @atomadventure]

Rather sad to be leaving knoydart behind in such glorious weather after a great week, hope to return before to long. #inverie #knoydart

[Andrew Thomson @atomadventure]

Stunning weather for a morning paddle around Inverie bay this morning. First snows above 800m, winter is on her way, will soon be time to sharpen the ice tools!#knoydart #seakayak #scotwinter
