Fuck off Garmin! It was a 10 mile run regardless of what you’ve recorded in fact it felt like 20 miles. Rookie error underestimated how hot it was should have taken a gel or two and more water. Jeffing for last four km at 3/1. Really exhausted at the end but enjoyed the run the LoxleyValley is great

Watching the cloud roll in over Hilltop, Storrs and Dungworth this morning . #weather #weaterwatchers #loxleyvalley #sheffieldweather #paultheweatherman
A view across Loxley Valley to several distant villages and farms on top of the other side. Low, grey cloud is approaching. So low that it is starting to cover the villages and hide them from view.

Last week one of the local buzzards was gliding around. I got a bit of footage of it on my phone but by the time I got in my house to get my camera it had already gone. 😕 But I did manage to get a picture of this Peacock Butterfly. #peacockbutterfly #uknature #butterflies #loxleyvalley

The roiling clouds of the thunderstorm that was passing by to the Northwest of us. I saw one flash of lightning but there was plenty of thunder. Loxley Valley, Sheffield. #thunderstorm #sheffieldsky #loxleyvalley #clouds #paultheweatherman

I thought it was looking hazy Eastward but the smell told me that it’s actually smoke blowing over from the fire on moorland on the A57 Snakepass between Ladybower Reservoir and Glossop about 15 miles away. I feel sorry for those who live closer to it all. 🙁

Sometimes, you don’t have to travel far to see wildlife. This sparrow hawk was eating its meal on my front lawn. This image is from a few years ago now.
#sparrowhawk #loxleyvalley #ukwildlife
A sparrow hawk stood on grass in front of some bushes with a piece of meat in its beak. On the grass there are lots of feathers all around.

The Light at the End of the Tunnel
It’s actually sunlight reflecting off the surface of Damflask Reservoir. The surrounding trees definitely gave it a more enclosed feeling.
I don’t know if I could have captured it better if I’d planned it.
