Firecrests - over the last two weeks I’ve added three new squares to my Firecrest map. Today I heard 3 birds in 93 80 near Mamhead. One popped up right next to the lane. Love them!
My Firecrest map is a 20kmx20km OS map centred on my home. #ASingleMap

I picked a new route to run to Teignmouth today.
30km through the Haldon foothills & Ashcombe, finding a new trig point on Teignmouth golf course before the long descent to the sea.
Short detour up a dead end lane to run a new stretch of road in my #ASingleMap
Great day to be out & about #running

27km run from home to complete a section of Sanctuary Lane that I’d not covered for my #ASingleMap challenge before adding a bit of the busy B3180 & a narrow path across the Commons.
A couple of calling Firecrests the birding highlight.

Dropped my car off for repair so I thought I'd resurrect my random #ASingleMap project. Sort of. This area isn't on my map but exploring where you are is in the spirit of @alastairhumphreys.bsky.social project. SE 25 28, between Morley and Gildersome, Leeds. Top of Gelderd Rd. Junc.27 of the M62.

Back streets - a walk into Exeter is an opportunity to explore new streets, parks & alleys for my #ASingleMap. No running today. A weary Long Covid day so trundled along slowly.
Couldn’t find a Yellow-browed Warbler along the leat at Countess Wear but did manage to hear a Firecrest. Good to be out.

A lovely 30km spin out in winter sunshine on my #ASingleMap project. Baildon Green, Guiseley, Yeadon Airport, south of Otley Chevin, Menston and Hawksworth.

#asinglemap Just read Alistaire Humphries Local , a book about the British countryside and urban sprawl . It’s a book full of interesting facts and a book of inspiration to get out and explore. It joins the books in our bookshop !

Map on the wall, 1km squares being marked off. More #RunningInSquares. Love it!
@alastairhumphreys.bsky.social - another example of #ASingleMap exploration in progress.

Walking between train stations and thought I’ve never been up this alley before. 55 years of living in Exeter yet I’ve not been into the St Nicholas Priory. Until today.
I need to keep taking the different ways.

This is what happens if you run up dead-end lanes when exploring a map. Expect the unexpected. #ASingleMap #Local

Effectivement, il faut changer les mentalités. Vous qui avez une forte audience, cela serait bien que vous promouviez un tourisme d'exploration locale, à l'opposé de ce triste tropisme polaire. #asinglemap

What if this bog-standard corner of England is actually full of adventure, nature, wildness, surprises, silence, perspective — if only I bothered to go out and look?

Haldon trails - an afternoon walk with Bert. Not a lot to report. Barely a bird called along the 13km of trails. Two more sections of road completed. #ASingleMap #Local

East Budleigh Common - a morning’s walk around the common taking in Hayes Wood & Shortwood Common. My route took me to the eastern edge of my #ASingleMap via a new footpath. Firecrest the birding highlight, adding a new 1km square to my 2024 distribution map.

Then to SE 10 31, between Thornton (Brönte birthplace) & Queensbury (home of Queensbury Queens Cycling Club). The area around Hole Bottom is worth further exploration for its fire-clay works, former Queensbury rail station & Hole Bottom Beck itself. #ASingleMap

Completer finisher - I ran from home to Lympstone this afternoon & finished running along each and every street in the village.
The kms soon build up when running up & down streets but the task is a good distraction.

The final two footpaths - Here they are, the final two footpaths that I’ve not explored within my map (OK, there may be some tiny footpaths I’ve not noticed but I think I’ve found them all…).
One run should sort these out.

The plan for yesterday’s run was simple - find & run along four footpaths around Chudleigh. The plan morphed as I ran. I realised with a bit of work I could complete the lanes around Chudleigh. My 15km route turned into a 28km run. Once more my route took on loops and out & backs.

Another #ASingleMap grid square off the list today as part of a twixmas family walk. SE 17 41 is dominated by the manicured fairways of Bradford Golf Club and the equally manicured Tranmere Park suburb of Guiseley. Even the dog poo bags are neatly curated. 🙄

I've not done #ASingleMap thing for a while but, while the lad is sailing with Scouts, I thought I'd check out this familiar square km of my local patch. I've ridden up and down Sconce Lane loads since I was a kid. A lovely spot on the fringe of Bradford. An ancient landscape in lots of ways.
