Since Christmas I’ve been struggling with breathing due to an on-off cough but yesterday Dex and I had our first proper run of 2020, 10 miles from Hathersage to Stanage Edge and back. Had sun, rain, hailstones and… https://t.co/E8bL6NOW3S

Been lucky enough to be invited to Bulgaria this weekend by the lovely people at @xcosports for Pirin Ultra, the latest Skyrunner World Series event. So far been exploring Bansko town and the Pirin National Park,… https://t.co/F2S95hAzzh

Day One of Wainwright's Coast to Coast walk. Wet n windy start from St Bees so only did 5 miles. Thankfully this was the worst the weather got the whole trip #FlashbackFriday

Ryan Atkins in the early hours at the #Spartan Ultra World Championship in Iceland 2018. When you can barely get onto the step for the monkey bars - and speak properly - yet manage to find a way to keep going #MondayMotivation #OCR

Time to step up my prep for @TheNuclearRaces Oblivion. 5-mile run with this little fella this morn, followed by an hour on the weights. Jumping into the week like...

After a beautiful final day, walking just over 20 miles from Glaisdale to Robin Hood's Bay, Dexter and I completed Wainwright's Coast to Coast walk yesterday 😎 Obviously some celebratory fish & chips were in order, plus a few cans of Wainwrights 🍺 #CoastToCoast #C2C #hiking

[Pursuit of Muddyness @MuddyPursuits]

Still on the Coast to Coast walk. After being off the grid for a couple of days and a few late arrivals, we're now ahead of schedule in Osmotherley. Counting down the miles, 3 days to go #CoastToCoast #C2C #hiking #onemanandhisdog

Much better today, but for the odd bit of cloud. Managed 13 miles from Stanwith to Ennerdale Water, which included the first big schlep over Dent Fell. Bye bye the coast... Hello the Lakes #CoastToCoast #C2C

[Pursuit of Muddyness @MuddyPursuits]

Kept this fairly quiet as it's been a bit of a last-minute thing but started the Coast to Coast walk with Dexter yesterday. As you can see, was pretty windy though, so we only managed 5 miles on day one #CoastToCoast #C2C

After last week's trip to the Lakes, I recovered over the weekend with my first ever visit to the Yorkshire Dales. A lot flatter round there. Had a nice amble round Bolton Abbey and a… https://t.co/n9pVpF6krW

Break dancing has been proposed for inclusion in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Which sport do you think should be in the Olympics first?🤔

@digininja Which one's that? I'm sure you'll be able to dig deep pal and see it through

Four years ago I bought this magazine just to find out about that pub on the cover. It's taken a while but today Dexter and I are finally going to visit the Wasdale Head Inn and muster the energy to go up Scafell Pike tomorrow @TGOMagazine #hiking

[Pursuit of Muddyness @MuddyPursuits]

12-mile hike from Wasdale Head to Old Dungeon Ghyll yesterday, via Scafell Pike. Inadvertently picked a tough route up there and the snow and wind made it 'interesting' up top. But a nice, clear day made for some great views #hiking #LakeDistrict #ScafellPike #WasdaleHead

[Pursuit of Muddyness @MuddyPursuits]

@digininja @TGOMagazine Nice one. Gotta make the most of it while it lasts eh 😀

[Pursuit of Muddyness @MuddyPursuits]

11-mile walk from Drigg to Wasdale Head today, giving us time to prep in the Wasdale Head Inn for tomorrow's jaunt up Scafell #hiking #LakeDistrict #Wasdale #Scafell

[Pursuit of Muddyness @MuddyPursuits]

@digininja @TGOMagazine Cheers mate, was great today. Sunny but cool. Perfect for walking. Forecast almost as good for tomo 🌞
