Stone and silence at Somerton Deep Lock—descending through time on still water. The canal holds its breath.

Typical #dukeofexpedition sitting waiting for a group to appear hearing them before you can see them. Now a run of expeditions 8 in total bronze, silver and gold.

Kings Sutton church rising through the spring haze—caught from the roof of NB Hawksmoor on our narrowboat holiday. A moment of stillness in light and spire.

After a great week on Nb Hawksmoor we feel recharged and recuperated, ready to get back to work and training.

Still cruising the cut. Stayed last night north of lower heyford and now on the way to Thrupp. We guess there were floods in the winter

First full (ish) day cruising the cut. Banbury was very busy. Stopped just passed Twyford wharf now having frittata for dinner. #narrowboat #canal #cruisingthecut

Started doing a 52 week photo challenge - this weeks challenge is over or underexposed - here’s my attempt this week.

Long run chewed me up, spat me into a patch of nettles. Full-body tingle, half a grin. Didn’t crack. Kept moving. That’s the game—lean in when it bites. Some miles break you down, others build you quietly. Today did both. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

A 45-minute recovery run through the fens at sunset reminded me that every step is a mindful act of transformation. In the gentle glow of dusk, nature whispers that progress isn’t measured by pace but by the courage to keep moving forward. #RunFree

🚨 It’s happening. After a few years of winging it, I’m finally training again.

50K of trails, hills, and suffering (the good kind) at Maverick South Downs Ultra is calling.

Legs are rusty. Mind is ready. Let’s get after it. #UltraTraining #TrailRunning #SouthDowns50K

Spent the day running a Duke of Edinburgh Award training session for another local school - seeing young people challenge themselves & grow in confidence is what it’s all about! The #DofE isn’t just an award, it’s a life-changing experience. Proud to be part of their journey! 🏕️🎒 #YouthDevelopment

🚨 Prioritizing pupil wellbeing? Great. But what about teachers & staff? 💡 Compassionate leadership means creating space for THEIR wellbeing too. Supervision, support & self-care aren’t luxuries—they’re essentials. A thriving school starts with thriving staff. Let’s lead with care. #EdLeadership

A wonderful evening at RHS Wisley, the lights were lovely and it was pretty quiet which was nice. #RHSWisley

Near-freezing night run under this stunning sky 🌌. Pushing limits, finding peace. As Scott Jurek says, ‘Sometimes you just do things.’ No excuses, just the joy of movement. Every step is a gift. #RunningMotivation #TrailRunning #Ultramarathon #ScottJurek #NightSky #NatureRun #TrainingMindset

‘Mood follows action.’ On my Sunday long run, I came across this stunning bridge—a reminder that every step forward, no matter how small, leads to transformation. When we show up and take action, positivity and achievement follow naturally. Keep moving, and the path will reveal itself. – Rich Roll

We also saw some birds at RSPB Brompton in April, including this pair of razorbills. Their quiet bond reminded us that nature’s beauty lies in its connections. Protecting habitats like this ensures not just survival, but the chance to witness these profound, peaceful moments. #RSPBBempton #birds

Visited RSPB Bempton Cliffs in April and captured this shot of weathered concrete structures against rolling greenery. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, “The miracle is not to walk on water but to walk on the earth.” Bempton’s landscapes hold a quiet, meditative beauty.
