Of all my modest running achievements, becoming the ‘legend of dog shit alley’ surely ranks high above them all.

This blew my mind today. Reefs built by honeycomb worms. Zoom in and you can see every grain of sand placed with precision. Just incredible. #Cornwall

Tunnel 10k - Friday 3rd April 2026 10k run from Fowey to Par on the usually closed, private clay road between Par and Fowey. This road goes through the Pinnock tunnel, which is just over 1km long and the longest tunnel in Cornwall. It'...

For any Cornish runners, or if you fancy driving further for a 10k, my gig club puts on this event most years. It’s a fairly flat & fast, but quite an interesting route, being on the private clay road and through the damp and drippy Pinnock Tunnel. Always sells out. People love it.

West Penwith coastal hike, day 2. St Just - St Ives. My favourite stretch of coast. Nice not to be running it for a change! But still hard work. The pasty and coffee in St Ives was monumental!

Perfect weather! Round here is my favourite part of Cornwall for walking and running. Just love the landscape and history. And yes, the section from Cape Cornwall to St Ives is probably the best (and toughest!) of the lot. Picked a good weekend for a long hike!

Completely agree, and have filed a complaint to the BBC. Obviously won’t help, but I guess we have to do what we can.

Mining. It’s an incredible place. Loads of industrial remnants, but a stunning valley that nature has reclaimed over decades.
