A Pithy Guide to the King Charles III Coast Path

At Marske Sands, a wooden fingerpost points towards Redcar and its turning turbines, as if pointing out the obvious. The King Charles III Coast Path belongs to a 2,700 mile plan to walk round the island, or near enough. It is the sort of stroll that rewards enthusiasm with blisters. You walk north ...

Redcar: Where Time Was Scoured Clean

When Storm Chandra recently lashed the North East coast, it behaved like a blind cosmic spade, scraping away millions of tons of sand to uncover a bleak, barnacle-furred graveyard. This was no run-of-the-mill blow. It delivered a rare, once-in-a-decade “unsanding” that laid bare the black, broken teeth of a 6,000-year-o ...

Happy New Year everyone!

We started this new year as we finished the old one, with a #parkrun. We did #Redcar again, but this time volunteering as tail-walkers. A lovely, friendly atmosphere and a great way to start 2026!

parkrun is my absolute favourite thing we discovered in 2025, and I can't recommend it enough. I'm looking forward to doing more over the next year.

Back to #Redcar for the #parkrun this morning. Nice and dry, not too cold, friendly volunteers and great signs!

Had a nice run, and ended up finishing with a new PB (27m32s)

Best of all, I feel perfectly comfortable spending the rest of the day getting intimate with a Toblerone.
