Well damn you all, I gone and done it and it's all your fault, so there <sticks tounge out>

Signed up today for my first ever running event and first ever marathon. So I better hope to it and start training and get time on feet and try to run something longer than a half marathon a few times over the next 10 months.

Only target I will have is to finish in the time they set. I'm not going to have a PB to beat or age group to win etc. I'm there for fun and a wee dram.

Note to one self: when going plodding take a nice sturdy bag with you.

That bag next to Paddy a quarter full of what is our garbage, the rest is what we picked up outside HQ and the 500m to the nearest bin. I could easily have filled two more with what was on the side of the road and the layby we parked in.

Yes, by all means come and enjoy this stunning corner of Scotland for a bit of camping or a picnic.

But, for <bleep> sake, people, take your litter home with you!

Or as I did walk up to the nearest bin, not that hard, well it is when you over fill a thin and flimsy plastic bag with your junk.

Beginning of February will see the next video to youtube.com/@KelpandFern

Silent Running Arctic Norway.

Here is a shot of myself and Otter making our way slowly up The Queens Route on Flakstad in Lofoten, Norway as autumn was turning in to winter.

Can you spot us slowly making our way up on the left with the ocean and a majestic scene making up the backdrop to the right.

This year the biggest aim for the channel is to be as consistent as possible and to move more towards my beliefs of environmentalism and what we can do for the trail and natural world we all love so much.

With the aim of releasing a video or documentary on the 1st of each month. I already have a few jobs lined up and documentaries to work on as well as a few personal projects to be released that i have been working on and off for up to 2 years in some cases.

I will be guiding the channel and its content more towards the trail and what we can do for it in our day to day lives, this will be called Project Trail and I will be releasing a video about this in the coming weeks highlighting the projects i'll be releasing and promoting how we can do more for the trail as I find the industry and this nature hobby moves more towards consumerism and anti-environmental practices.

If you're still reading, thanks and I can't wait to share what i've been working on throughout the year!

2024 was a bumpy ride. In no particular order; lost a friend to cancer, sudden loss of my mum, rescued a dog in Spain, said goodbye to our soul dog of 11 years, rescued a dog in Ireland, saw the fascist win way to many elections and seats around the world, wars that goes killing innocent people, rich people getting filthy rich and that the most of public, politicians and the MSM really don't give a shite about the destruction of the rock call home.

In other news I've started to run mid January and joined The Green Runners. I clocked up 716 miles in a year, mental to think the most "running" I've done before was to get to the ice cream vans first.

Next year I hope I can get to do some longer runs with the mutts as they should be old enough. Sadly I can't help with cancer or stopping the wars. But I hope that I can convince more people to not leave a trace while out in the outdoor, and re-use/cycle/pair more along with buying less from the other side of the planet.

Take care of yourself and see you in 2025.

Another run'n'sniff with the Irish mutt and with added fun, the lass joined with the Spanish mutt. They were a bit scared of a horse, but did well when seeing 3 other dogs and a few other runners. Ended up looking at this for a while, rude not to. Should have plodded on for another 500m as I would I the clocked up 700 miles of running. Because it's crimbo I rounding up, so there!

700miles done, 300miles to go!

10.82miles / 17.53 km today, was thinking about extending it to 20km but it was to hot to do silly things. And then there was this sheep who stalked us for awhile, didn't fancy getting stuck on the moors with that, Black Sheep the brilliant movie is still fresh in my mind ;)

458miles done, 542miles to go!
