@JenHenders @JulieHanly2 Oh lovely, back towards where I'm from. A lovely area though I'm guilty of not going enough. Low Force and High Force and up to Cow Green is a lovely area.

[Ben Brown @benbrown94]

@callumjames_EE It does. I'm off to NZ at the end of the year and I think that might tip me over the edge..

You're right about no incentive to staying in the UK, though, I haven't quite found exactly which country ticks all the boxes yet... Learning another language would clearly help though..

@callumjames_EE If Glenfeshie could be replicated across all/most of our mountain landscapes, our natural areas would look incredible, I have no doubt.

I thought travelling was good to expand the mind, yet all it's done is make me more depressed about the culture and views here in the UK 😂

[Ben Brown @benbrown94]

@callumjames_EE @TomHasssan1 Yep. Got into researching about all this a couple of years back but I've just started reading this to top up on it all. Worth knowing!

Had the best time running around Derwent Water today for my penultimate long run before marathon day.

You could even call it warm weather training.. 🥵

Another beautiful day in the hills, in the sunshine.

It's unheard of, this weather is spoiling us ☀️

@NickWilliams04 Anything to keep crybaby Arteta's hands off the title 👌

Managed to get out camping this weekend to make the most of this good weather.

First camp of the year as well - nice to get back to the Lake District.

@PLW18 I had to see what all the fuss was about! It's good 😋

[Ben Brown @benbrown94]

It's always gonna be a good day when you're cycling in the sun and in the Yorkshire Dales

[Ben Brown @benbrown94]

@AlCalves100 Just been there myself on the bike this afternoon!

[Ben Brown @benbrown94]

What a day to try cycling in Majorca for the first time.

Rode a 50km circular from Santa Ponsa around to Andratx and Calvià with a few refreshment breaks, had the best day!

@callumjames_EE That's the issue with getting wrapped up in the stats I think. It's great to use them but when it gets you down because they're not working for you, you've got to remind yourself that life still does life things. Something I still have to remind myself

[Ben Brown @benbrown94]

@callumjames_EE Clearly I've not been around many of the same gravel trails, that and I haven't actually been here long!

@GeordieCarlisle @munro277 @Steve72Outdoors @beavo77 @DAVIDMILES6 I have the X Mid 2 Solid, great tent. And I purchased through Kaviso, all good and delivery was pretty quick given it came from the States if I remember rightly too.

[Ben Brown @benbrown94]

@callumjames_EE Yeah it was definitely one of those stay in your memory kind of days! Weather hasn't been too bad over Easter up this way

[Ben Brown @benbrown94]

Big hill days have been few and far between recently, with the weather mostly being rubbish and life being busy.

But with the forecast looking good for Easter, I headed to the Cairngorms to enjoy a beautiful blue sky day in the snow.

What a day 🤩

@Sela Tiote vs Arsenal to make it 4-4!
