The awards for the Surrey Hills Marathon have arrived! Oh these look good. Still time to enter the race & bag a medal & a coaster. Volunteers along with getting their points towards a race place also get a small token of our appreciation. www.canarytrailevents.com/surreyhillsm...

Just back from a lovely long walk and guess which one of these little buggers rolled in fox poo? I'm not giving any clues but he won't look at me & he's French. 👀

Weirdest flavoured soup I've ever seen.

It's only February but it's time to start training for your end of year 200 miler. Can you join Alan Risk in this exclusive 200 mile club? The Copthorne 200. "The race they said couldn't be done" 200 miles, 44,000ft of ascent & 72hrs. Entry details below www.canarytrailevents.com/copthorne200...

Hey guys, we're still short a few volunteers for the Surrey Hills Marathon on the 22nd March. If you can help out, then please drop us an email on [email protected]

Weathers gone to the dogs & speaking of dogs! MrT has nabbed the cosiest spot on board.

MrsO is busy spring cleaning Sidi & I've been tasked with getting the dinner. Looks like venison is on the menu tonight. 👀

Entries open at 10am this morning for The Winterfold 55. We had an absolute belter of a race this year & it's shaping up to be a must have classic on your race calendar. www.canarytrailevents.com/winterfold55...

We have released a limited number of additional places for our acclaimed Surrey Hills Marathon. It takes in 26.2 miles of the best trails in the South with 3 Aid Stations, fully marked, full medical cover and 4,000ft of elevation.Saturday 22nd March 2025. www.canarytrailevents.com/surreyhillsm...

It's back for next year! After watching Alistair Courtney obliterate the course in 8:05:26 & Michelle Attridge tear it up in 10:48:52 it had to go on again. Join us on February 7th 2026 & take on The Winterfold 55. Entries open this Saturday at 10am. www.canarytrailevents.com/winterfold55...

Great news folks, we've managed to get permission for an additional 50 entries on the Surrey Hills Marathon on the 22nd March so we've opened the entries up again. Best move quickly though if you want to enter, we won't be able to get anymore after this. www.canarytrailevents.com/surreyhillsm...

We ran a new event on Saturday, check out our short film of the inaugural Winterfold 55. youtu.be/Q5Ad09xX5EA?...

Just one place left! Who's going to bag the entry & make this event a sell out for the second year on the trot? www.canarytrailevents.com/surreyhillsm...

It's all go here at CTE towers in prep for the race on Saturday. The banner for the Winterfold has arrived. Loving the elevation profile.

Gimli had a haircut yesterday & Lynn the dog groomer told us she was retiring soon. It's quite hard to process as we realised just how huge this is, she has been part of our lives for over 30yrs now grooming all our Spaniels. Marcus, Dylan, Wilf & Gimli all loved her.

Just three places left for the Surrey Hills Marathon on the 22nd March. Who's going to bag them?? www.canarytrailevents.com/surreyhillsm...

5km run done without stopping! Progress being made. Might even get myself reasonably fit at this rate.

Introduced MrsO to "The Peoples Front of Judea" tonight after a post in a narrowboat forum. Can't believe she didn't find it funny... Splitters. youtu.be/bsFzc0wAtFs?...

Had to pull over to take a picture of this view tonight. Epsom racecourse looking amazing near sunset.

Two good things from this weekend.

Looks like we've got a new Ships cat on board. Meet Sunny, our latest recruit, can't wait until MrT meets them.

7-0 nearly makes up for the 43-0 drubbing we suffered yesterday. When I say nearly. No, no it bloody well doesn't.

MrT in prime position on the boat.

In his old age, he's 14 later this year. Oz our last rescue rabbit comes in at night & sleeps in the conservatory. I've bought him an adventure tunnel to play in. He's loving it!!

First run since my accident & this pesky virus. 5km done, didn't die & didn't cough up a lung. I'm taking that as a win.

Throwback to when MrT was just all ears.

A bonus side affect of giving up smoking all those years ago to get under 3hrs 30 for my marathon times.

Just 25 places left for the Surrey Hills Marathon on the 22nd March. It sold out last year so don't delay if you want to join us. Entry details below. www.canarytrailevents.com/surreyhillsm...

If someone hasn't made a gif and superimposed Musks face over Father Teds doing the nazi salute by the end of the day, then the internet is finished...

Was out on the course yesterday, it is stunning!!

Ha, MrsO just sent me this, how my adventures have slowed down a bit) a lot.A memory on her FB with me leaving Byrness 10yrs ago & now my biggest adventure is getting a ball out from under the kitchen cupboard for MrT..😂

And just like that, the #Mincepieathon is nearly over...
