It's taken just a month for the Republican administration to trash eight decades of US leadership in science and technology. TRIGGER WARNING: reading this article (by my esteemed colleagues, who have stronger stomachs than I do) made me feel physically ill. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This exactly. The whole thing is horrendous for any sane person's mental health. Also, grappling with fear that I may live to find out what kind of person I would have been if I'd been alive during WWII. We all like to think we'd have defended democracy and human rights. Soon we may find out.

Yesterday we wrapped up an excellent winter skills week in the Cairngorms for Adventure Expeditions. I love sharing the mountains, especially with young people. The conditions threw us a few curveballs- but often that's where the learning is! #ThinkWINTER

Email from US based marketing manager for a premium tent brand, asking me if the tent I'd like to test for TGO magazine is for above the treeline or below. ⛺️🌲🌲🌲 Not sure he was expecting a full paragraph about the history of deforestation, wolf eradication and our crazy maritime climate 😅.

Having fun with my nightly Greek lessons, for no practical reason whatsoever. Even in these crazy times, it’s worth it to learn things simply for the joy of learning.

Save Ardrossan Harbour! While Peel Ports & the Scottish Government bicker over who foots the bill for restoring/upgrading the harbour, the communities of Arran & Ardrossan are in limbo. Troon is rubbish for foot passengers, hospital visits & day trips to the mainland. tinyurl.com/Save-Ardrossan

A cold wind and with icy snow underfoot today, but worth it for the fantastic views! To Lismore & Mull and over Loch Etive. Sadly not a day for lingering. ☀️❄️ On Creach Bheinn, a Corbett above Glen Creran.

A question for anyone with experience of domestic renewable electricity generation: I'd put some solar (PV) panels on the south-facing roof of my house but for the fact that here in Beara we get extremely violent storms, and I don't want to increase the risk of damage or leakage to the roof... (1)

Confess I have bought some new, new kit (ref earlier posts), as have invested in some canicross gear for Nuis and me. This means we can run together from the house, so, less travelling, and more time for fun. Not sure if the CO2 balances out but it's definitely a win for spontaneous adventures.

Update on my sad worn out running shoes. Inspired by Allie Bailey and the @thegreenrunners.bsky.social I've found a 2nd hand identical pair online- now ordered. When they arrive I'm going to send the sad ones away for a resole. That means I'll get two pairs for less than the price of 1. Winning!

Absolutely brilliant and admirable. It comes as I'm trying to decide about whether to buy a new pair of La Sportiva daps (Akasha 2s). They've only done 500km and the tread is wearing flat, and they are losing grip on steeper trails. I love them. They are super comfortable. Can they be resoled? 😟

Such a crazy world these days, so it was good to have a Pentlands day with pals and get away from the news. Rather wet circular route from Carlops via East Cairn Hill and the Cauldstane Slap. Sunshine, wind - and even snow, feeling properly tired now. @ramblersscotland.bsky.social
