An brilliant 3 days away with @DBaxter76! The #ArcDeTriomphe horse racing meeting at #Longchamp was top draw, #Paris was amazing, but today is home time, but not before a little stop off in #Amiens for a little mooch around and some lunch as its been a while since our last visit!

Absolutely top day with @DBaxter76 being proper tourists around #Paris! Went to top of the #ArcDeTriomphe, visited the #Louvre & #NotreDame #Cathedral, took a bus tour around the city, had a posh McDonald's on the #ChampsÉlysées, & finished the day on top of the #EiffelTower!

What a day with @DBaxter76 at @paris_longchamp for the biggest #HorseRace in Europe, the #ArcDeTriomphe! By far the best #Racecourse I've ever been to, food amazing, prices unbelievable reasonable, 10 brilliant races, & after race 6 we finally landed a few winners & places!

An early start with @DBaxter76 for the last part of her 50th birthday celebrations,but so worth it to be at the last day and finale of the biggest #HorseRacing meeting in Europe at @paris_longchamp #Paris .. #TheArcDeTriomphe 2026! Then a few days mooching around Paris! #LetsRoll

A brilliant installation meeting this morning for our new worshipful master of #Cherchefelle #Lodge! A great turn out in stunning surroundings, a fantastic breakfast, and all in the company of good people! What more could you want on a Saturday morning!#Freemasonry @SurreyMason

A top little afternoon out with my #Wingman @RaifeBaxter! Popped down to Plough Lane to watch @LondonBroncosRL in the first #Championship #Playoff game, a nice cuppa, some banging tries, the win, and they now have a #Burger van! (Not sampled yet!) #RugbyLeague #WeAreLondon

Well the body didn't hold out, in fact it was screaming no! So my place in the #Edinburgh #Hiking #Marathon has been deffered to 2027. So instead, a #Burger & visit to the #Cinema with @DBaxter76 to watch #Pressure to console myself. Burger wernt bad, but the film was diff gear!

Well with #Edinburgh #UltraHike #Marathon just 6 days away, & knowing training has not gone well, it was sh!t or bust today. 12 miles, 3 b@stard hills, concrete, sand, gravel & rock surface & has to be done in under 4 hours to have a chance nxt week. Job done, now serious rest.

A blinding little night out with @DBaxter76 at #Wimbledon #Theatre watching @DominicHalpin & the hurricanes doing their show #ACountryNightInNashville. Some great tunes and a top band! #WasntExpectingItToBeThatGood! #CountryMusic – at Lower Kingswood, South East

Day two of @DBaxter76 "Big Birthday" weekend & actual day was started off with a proper breakfast before a day of #CountryMusic at the @nash_down festival at @LingfieldPark! Some top music, nice food, several drinks, including a #cuppa with #Elvis! – at Banstead, South East

Well the start of @DBaxter76 #Big birthday weekend ment an afternoon/evening to kick it all off at @Goodwood_Races ! A nice picnic to start it all, a few winners & places for everyone, a top #Cuppa, and no rain! Thats a win all round! #HorseRacing #Big50 – at Lower Kingswood, South East

No hills, but that was 28 miles of foot shredding concrete & steps, but thats the @UltraChallenges #SummerWalk #Marathon done! Proper happy with under 7 hours, a top #Cuppa half way, & a banging #Burger at the finish! Thanks to all who donate to @bowelcanceruk #ThatWasForTheBoss – at Eltham, London

Well here we go! Time to head off to the start at Artillery barracks for the @UltraChallenges #Marathon #SummerWalk in aid of @bowelcanceruk. Thank you to those who donated directly to them, let's see how the body copes in readiness for the Edinburgh #Ultra in 21 days! Lets go – at Lower Kingswood, South East

Long overdue and top night out up #BoroughMarket with the lads, and my #Wingman put his disappointing day to bed and has a new lease of life, thanks gents. @RaifeBaxter forget all stories you heard tonight! 😉😂 – at Lower Kingswood, South East

Ok, so with just over 3 weeks until my #Ultra #Edinburgh #Marathon #Hike, somehow this happened today ..... well I guess a marathon 26.2 mile @UltraChallenges hike can be used as a training hike & will show if my body is ready after several recent set backs! #SummerWalk – at Lower Kingswood, South East

Absolutely top day with @DBaxter76 & @RaifeBaxter! A little mooch round the #TraffordCentre before a night at the #ManchesterAcademy watching #JamesJohnston, and it has to be said, he was the absolute nuts! What a concert in a proper small old school venue! #LovedIt! – at Lower Kingswood, South East

A blinding afternoon with @DBaxter76 at #PloughLane, another win for @LondonBroncosRL keeping the 100% record alive in the #BetfredChampionship! Some proper #RugbyLeague, 5 world class tries amongst others, a well needed ice lolly & a top #Cuppa! #TopAfternoon! #NowRest – at Lower Kingswood, South East

Well with under 5 wks until the #Edinburgh #UltraHike it was time to get just over half #Marathon training distance in,a nice 15 miler,a few hills, some severe heat, & different grounds.Ponds low, ground hard, fields dry, but views stunning as always. A top #Cuppa at 8 miles to!

Top day with the ladies, @DBaxter76 & @baxter_erynn at @NHM_London. Erynn wanted to see the #DavidAttenborough experience which was decent, then a stroll around the Dinosaurs for the first time in 35+ years! A good cuppa and some Chinese street food rounded the day off! – at Lower Kingswood, South East
