Autumnal stuff and things from this mornings walk around Haybridge and Rusland Moss #autumn #nature #lakedistrict #cumbria #fungi #haybridge #haybridgenaturereserve #ruslandmoss #naturalworld #outdoors #fungus

Important. Only takes a minute to send the email so please do so. These cunts shouldn't have a platform anywhere.

Managed to dodge the rain and do some Lizard spotting this afternoon #lizards #lizard #roudseawoods #cumbria #reptiles #animals #aminals #nature

How the fuck have I never seen Dakka Skanks before? Day 1 of Rebellion and they might already be the best band of the weekend.

Off work now until next Wednesday ✅ Off to Blackpool tomorrow for Rebellion Festival ✅ Currently watching Olivia Rodrigo's set from Lollapalooza last weekend ✅ Things could be worse 😏

The rare Cobweb Headed Grey Squirrel paid me a visit today 😆 #wildlife #animals #squirrels #squirrel #aminals

Off to this in Warrington later. Should be one of the best (and hottest) gigs of the year. Hell of a line up!

Awesome camping/swimming/walking/drinking trip to Tarn Foot farm yesterday. Definitely one of my favourite campsites and the weather was incredible. #lakedistrict #loughriggtarn #tarnfootfarm #camping

It's absolutely fucking wild to me that so many people who claim to be anti-racist and pro Palestine are willing to pay stupid amounts of money for that final Black Sabbath gig when there is a blatant white supremacist and a blatant zionist on the line up.p

There’s an URGENT petition against the banning of Palestine Action - please sign! palestinecampaign.eaction.org.uk/NoProscription

How fucking awesome was Olivia Rodrigo at #glastonbury though? Best headliner ever! No contest. Watching The Prodigy now and they're also awesome as always

Last day of #glastonbury from the sofa 😕 Today picks are The Selecter, The Libertines, Turnstile, Black Uhuru, Goat, Sprints, St Vincent, and most importantly our lord and saviour Olivia Rodrigo! I'll have to go back and watch The Prodigy and Jorja Smith too at some point.

Today's #glastonbury from the sofa picks are Bob Vylan, Jade, Nova Twins, Amyl And The Sniffers, Kneecap, Ezra Collective, Greentea Peng and Doechii. Maybe Charlie XCX too see what all the fuss is about too.

One of my favourite times of year is #glastonbury and watching as much of it as possible from the comfort of my own home! Today's picks are Burning Spear, Alanis Morissette, Busta Rhymes, En Vogue, Denzel Curry, Fatdog, English Teacher and Osees assuming that they are all live streamed.

Thursday was a good day. Camping and kayaking at Coniston Hall campsite in ridiculously good weather. #camping #coniston #conistonhall #lakedistrict

Some new additions to the vinyl collection. Armoured Flu Unit - Carynx, great band, great lyrics and great cover art! Brutalize - Can't Relate, raw D-beat type stuff which is always good. Olivia Rodrigo - Guts (Spilled), perfect album from start to finish even though it's not my usual sort of thing!

Sad news 🙁

Met Paddington in Liverpool

Great gig in Liverpool last night! @randomhand.co.uk smashed it as always. I was really impressed with Sadaxe too. Rough Trade is a cool little venue, would definitely go back there.

Very much looking forward to taking a trip to Liverpool on Friday for this banger of a gig!

Finally got round the giving the new Jodie Faster album, Saint Lundi, a spin. Absolute belter of an album. 19 songs in just over 20 minutes, these guys play fast as fuck. Such a distinctive guitar sound too. Highly recommended! #punkmusic #punk #punkrock #jodiefaster #punkvinyl #punkrecords

Forever in my top 5 albums of all time. Absolutely game changer.

Spotted an Adder this morning at Foulshaw Moss! @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social

SHIT AT SCRABBLE is out now! Official video in the comments 🙌 #punk #newmusic #independentartist

I solemnly swear that Olivia Rodrigo's Tiny Desk concerts are the greatest source of joy in the whole wide world 😀

Big walk this morning from Torver up over Coniston Old Man and back. 8.31 miles, 2,784 feet of climbing. It's fair to say my legs are quite sore now. #lakedistrict #cumbria #coniston #conistonoldman

Made some friends today..

Cracking band. Glad to see em back!

Spotted a slow worm in Roudsea Woods at weekend. Always nice to see. #cumbrianwildlife #slowworm #reptiles #wildlife #nature #roudseawoods #britishreptiles

Hope everyone has an awesome time at Manchester Punk Festival! I'm not jealous at all....honest!

Trans women are women and trans men are men. Trans rights are human rights. The UK, and let’s face it the world, sure sucks right now. The least you can do is sign a petition. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Off to watch some happy, cheerful music tonight for a change. I imagine it will start grating on me after about 30 mins...😆

Quick walk around Levens Deer park this morning. Plenty of goats and deer to be seen as always.

Getting set for day 2 of Scarborough punk festival. Another long busy day with lots of bands to see but it should be fun! Yesterday was great. Particularly enjoyed Grade 2 and Random Hand.

Early start this morning for a long ass train journey to Scarborough for the punk festival. This afternoon will consist of watching @riskeeridicule.bsky.social , @milliemanders.bsky.social , @randomhand.bsky.social , Grade 2 and Barstool Preachers. Should be fucking fantastic!

Some recent additions to the 7" vinyl collection. Poison Idea - Tribute To Gism, Total Con - Who Needs The Peace Corps?, Instant Ruin - Hardcore New Wave and 2 Vitriolic Response split EP's. One with Deformed Existence and the other with The Dissidents. #punk #vinylcollection #punkrock #punkmusic

Squirrel buddy has returned to make work more bearable 😁🐿

Not bad but I definitely need to up my game....

@profanity.accountant Should be interesting....

First decent mountain bike ride in quite a while this morning. 13 miles with plenty of off road in amazing weather. Good times. #mountainbiking #orangep7 #orangebikes #mtb #outdoors #lakedistrict

Today, mothers and fathers in Gaza are mourning their children because governments across the world did not deem their lives worthy of protection.

A few pictures from over the weekend. Got plenty of walking done. Elterwater, Loughrigg Tarn, Meathop Moss nature reserve and a friendly highland cow. #lakedistrict #cumbria #punksthatwalk #outdoors #nature #springtime

Witnessed some synchronised scratching going on today!

Don't suppose anyone knows anyone who's after a couple of cheap tickets to #scarboroughpunkfestival ? Doesn't look like I can make it anymore and don't want the tickets going to waste.

As an avid #glastonbury armchair watcher, I genuinely think the 2025 line up so far is the best there's been for quite a few years. Great mix of older stuff and newer stuff across loads of genres. The 1975 can fuck right off though.

Don't normally pay any attention to tribute bands but since this is happening tonight, within 5 minutes walking distance from where I live then I may aswell go along and check it out.
