Our first family bike ride with Marley. No injuries 👌 The bikes felt like new after @runrepair rebuilt/repaired/serviced and cleaned them. Awesome work thanks Matt!

Awesome to hear the swimming hero Mark Foster on @bbcradio2 this morning encouraging people to wild swim safely. Rivers, lakes, the sea don't need to be scary places to be in the water. And the media's continuous demonisation of wild swimming due to cold water shock, dangerous quarries, and other demons creates generations of people who are scared of open water. It doesn't need to be this way. Just look to the generations in much of Europe who have grown up with wild swimming, who are aware of the dangers and risks and who therefore don't demonise open water. How do we break this cycle? Find your nearest open water / wild swimming coach, and learn how to be safe in the water. You can then share that knowledge with your friends and family. Yes, there are dangers in open water if you're not aware of the risks and if you don't know how to deal with them when they happen. That's why coaching/lessons are essential. We're not going to name any swim coaches because we know too many, and we'll forget some and offend them. But Google is your friend. #swimsafely #openwaterswimming #wildswimming https://www.instagram.com/p/CRqSKEHsncx/?utm_medium=tumblr

Different people have had different experiences over the last 18 months. Different people have different vulnerabilities. So different people will see 'Freedom day' in many different ways. Be safe everyone however you're enjoying freedom Day. And be kind to people who have different opinions to you, whichever side of the mask/social distancing divide you fall on. #findYOURfreedom #freedomyourway #freedomday #staysafe #bekind #freedomunlocked https://www.instagram.com/p/CRgFv2uok1N/?utm_medium=tumblr

We caught the @handlebards About 500 miles in to their 1000+ mile tour around the UK. Well recommended if you want to see a funny, climate positive and a little random reinterpretation of Macbeth!

Such fun last night shaking off the stresses of the week. Enjoying the warm water and almost sunny evening. Efoil really is fun for all ages. They even flew two up on the smaller eskate efoil. Thanks Lake 32 for letting us on the lake! #efoiling #flyhighkids #thatfoillife #cotswoldslife #flymcconks Fly.mcconks.com @lake.32 @foilshop_uk @cotswolds_social @explorethecotswolds @cotswoldwaterpark (at Lake 32 Outdoor Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRI24VpoBIV/?utm_medium=tumblr
