Coming to you live as the sun goes down at Lanyon Quoit, on the Penwith moors #standingstonesunday
The spectacular Lanyon Quoit, a Neolithic dolmen in Cornwall, has three support stones and a large capstone. Seen here as the sun goes down on a winters afternoon.

My coast path training week is screwed due to the feet (still shot from last month’s prawn attack on my joints) but I’ve managed a literal hobble along to Ballowall Barrow in the sunshine. Also, the gorse is out 💛

Not #trailrunning #Cornwall
Ballowall Barrow chambered cairn in sunshine. The sea and Land’s End are on the horizon. Yellow gorse bush with the sea beyond and a the chimney remains of a Cornish tin mine. It is a beautiful sunny day.

A nine hour drive to catch a blast of salty sea air before it goes dark. I needed this.
A fast-flowing steam enters the sea at a boulder-strewn cove in far west Cornwall. There are rocky islets on the horizon. The blue sky is heavy with big grey and white and clouds, and a weak light as it is the end of the day.

Friday! Dark early. Local lake looking all peaceful and calm.
A dark and moody shot of a lake, very still with clouds and light reflections on a November afternoon.

Remote and wild, light fading, way out west.. #Cornwall #fingerpostfriday
A wooden sign rested on the floor points to “coast path across beach” with a backdrop of a beach, sea and cliffs in faded light as evening falls.

It’s horrible outside - dark and howling winds - but the house is full of good smells 😊

First card of the season arrived and I have many questions. Also it might be revenge for the fact I long ago stopped sending cards because can’t be arsed.

Should be #trailrunning but I’m still injured so instead had a fine cheese pie and chips on a cold and grey day in the Yorkshire Dales

This is the most interesting article on an ultra runner I have ever read

His entire approach really speaks to me. The whole idea of “clarity vs competition” as the process in his race and where his mind goes and how it works as he runs

Wow

It’s a long and must read article
