Satellites over Buckinghamshire tonight. Not a great photo but lovely to watch

[Ben @PhotoByBen]

@photogirlruns see you there (until you disappear in to the distance)!

[Ben @PhotoByBen]

After a long break from meaningful running, entry is in for @centurionrunner SDW50 in April. I will need a 100m entry later in 2024 too :s

[Ben @PhotoByBen]

@photogirlruns Agreed, though Gloucester and Tebay are much less so than average!

[RAF Orienteering @RAFOrienteering]

#orienteering is a recognised sport in the @RoyalAirForce and we have our own club, RAFO. Many RAFletes also race and volunteer for their local civilian clubs too. Be like Andy ❤️🤍💙

@WIRED It never stops being too much.

@MountainRoche @ameliaboone Awesome podcast yet again (and I’m only 10 minutes in). Poop optimisation? Or how about #pooptimisation ?

[Ben @PhotoByBen]

@photogirlruns Nice to see you a few times (further ahead every time). Awesome finish.

It was a great day for the annual @sloweb London City Race. The layers of history from the Romans onwards make an amazing web of roads, passageways, alleys, twists and turns. And of course the @BarbicanCentre multi level fun 😱😱 @GBRorienteering @RAFOrienteering @OrienteeringLOG

[Ben @PhotoByBen]

@MountainRoche could you use your awesome podcast to campaign for “running with stroller/pushchair” to be added as a @Strava sport that counts towards my weekly running total but allows separate segment times?

[Ben @PhotoByBen]

A cracking if rather damp day today at the @RAFOrienteering Spring Sprints and Inter-Station Relay. Super run from our top lady who finished first overall in the event at @RAFHalton well ahead of me in third

[Ben @PhotoByBen]

@amjohnsonuk @RAFOrienteering @HQRAFSport A few mistakes but v pleased on the whole. as you said though, not a good day for everyone!

[Ben @PhotoByBen]

A cold but beautiful morning for today’s Inter-Services Orienteering competition, where @RAFOrienteering @HQRAFSport will take on the British Army and Royal Navy/Royal Marines orienteering teams in Sherwood Forest #NoOrdinaryRun

[Inzpire @InzpireLimited]

Good luck to our very own Phil Johnston-Davis (pictured below on the right) who this weekend is representing the RAF as part of the orienteering team at the Inter-Service Orienteering Championships against the Royal Navy and the British Army.

All the best, Phil!

[Ben @PhotoByBen]

And you just got on to that topic too! Awesome!

[Ben @PhotoByBen]

@MountainRoche @Meg_Runs_Happy just in the middle of the latest awesome SWAP podcast…you mention sport being lots of little deaths…or la petite mort in French, which is a euphemism for one of your other favourite topics! ❤️ woohoo!

[Ben @PhotoByBen]

@MountainRoche Yes Coach T! What a legend

[Ben @PhotoByBen]

@Alpkit @outdoorsross We’ll be doing the same - thanks!

[Ben @PhotoByBen]

This weekend @RoyalAirForce #Orienteers are competing in the Covid-delayed @GBRorienteering Sprint Championships Weekend in Skelmersdale. Yesterday's relays found a gap in the heavy rain but it was definitely slippy underfoot for the relay races /2
