We did it! 162km along the Berlin Wall Trail from 8am until 2.30 the following morning. I’m so proud of my friends who answered the call and joined me in a challenge that means more than our own PBs or other personal achievements. So why did we run? Here: www.justgiving.com/page/paul-sc...

We’re running 162.1km along the Berlin Wall Trail to raise money for the Pahar Trust Nepal - building schools in hard-to-reach communities.
The Mauerweglauf is on 16 August 2025, and any help you can give us would be greatly appreciated: www.justgiving.com/page/paul-sc...

Morning in Lomba da Fazenda… the sound of birds, cows and an incredibly mournful donkey. Last night we heard a Cory’s shearwater, which would have been quite disturbing if we hadn’t known what it was! #adventuresbeyondthefrontdoor

Bruce in Berlin. It was as good as you’d expect. It was as angry as you’d imagine. It was as hopeful as you’d, well, hope… brilliant. And the E Street Band remains the greatest band in the world.

Nineteen years ago I left Katrin and Lotte in the hospital and went back to our flat just off Zionskirchplatz and tried to imagine how I was going to be a good dad when they finally came home. Still working on it, I guess. Happy Birthday Lotte… here’s to the next orbit around the sun x

Bruce is in Liverpool and he’s coming to Berlin… so, the question is: what’s your favourite album?
I’ll go first 🙂
1. Born to Run
2. Nebraska
3. Wrecking Ball
4. Darkness on the Edge of Town
5. The River
Numbers 2-5 alternate. Number 1 is my favorite album by anyone, ever.

We did it! 39km and 1550m up and down on the Yorkshire Three Peaks to raise money to build two schools in Nepal. An amazing day, and if you’d like to help the campaign, you still can: www.justgiving.com/page/paul-sc...
