Excited to announce I've written one of the 20 chapters in a new book, Catalysts of Change, launching on Tuesday (19), #nationalentrepreneursday. My chapter, "Moving Forward: One Step at a Time," promotes the benefits of regular exercise. #catalystsofchange #impactcatalysts

I think this is worth Re-tweeting.

I’m sticking with Twitter. Yes, Twitter, Twitter, Twitter. It might be annoying on so many levels these days, but we’re basically giving in to morons and Muskovites if we leave and hand Space Karen a free pass. Anyway, that’s my opinion. I respect those who have packed in!

Please, if you're working outdoors during #StormBabet & have a helmet in your house, stick it on your head. Doesn't matter what kind: climbing, canoeing, cycling, riding, forestry, whatever. And don't worry if you look like a muppet. @metofficeUK @BBCRadioScot @JudithRalston RT

If you've tried to build more exercise into your busy life, but hit the buffers after a few days, then maybe you tried to do too much too soon. Here's a couple of tips: 1. Keep it simple. 2. Find what hooks you. Read my blog article: findtimeforexercise.com/blog-1/keep-it… #FindTimeForExercise

⏱️Sadly, the clock is once again ticking for Coul Links' internationally-protected dunes. Please stand up for access, the natural landscape & walkers' enjoyment of these tranquil dunes. Sign our petition by 7 April: ramblers.org.uk/coullinks Together, let's #SaveCoulLinks.

Listening to @BBCRadioScot on Saturday morning with SatNav butting in occasionally, I was amused by these 2 mashed-up phrases: @HumzaYousaf is going to take the next exit. Then: @IsabelOakeshott saying, "What I'm not going to do is turn right." @des_clarke


My article "Access Rights & Terminology" on the Parkswatch website. 20 years on from the passing of statutory access rights in the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, let's move on from arguing about terminology & get back to education for all parties. parkswatchscotland.co.uk/2023/02/07/acc…

Review your own sporting year. Post 1 photo showing the world your top sporting or activity achievement of 2022. Here's mine. I cycled the length of the Outer Hebrides in June. Perfect weather & enjoyed every turn of the wheels. #MySportingHighlight2022 #MyActivityHighlight2022

It's that #SPOTY time of year. Time to review the 2022 sporting year. Whether or not you are into looking back at the sporting year of the elite, we should all be reviewing our own year & the activities we have done at our modest levels. My blog article: findtimeforexercise.com/blog-1/imagine…


The @Nick_Kempe Parkswatch article about the term "access taker" & the implication that it suggests there is an "access giver" comes to mind here. The land isn't "currently made available to the public", the public has a statutory right of access to that land. Misleading sign.

The old sign I suppose wasn’t very reassuring after all….
