Go for it, Lorraine: anybody who can survive a polar plunge can survive the smell of guano. But you'd struggle to host your TV show or even maintain your Insta feed.

Things you never knew you needed: a Tube-style map of the National Trails. Disclaimer - for entertainment purposes only. We do NOT recommend that you try to use this map for navigation when actually walking the trails.

"Guidebooks are invaluable on a self-guided holiday. They help with navigation, offer tips about where to eat or fill up that water bottle, and they’re full of local history and fascinating details you might otherwise miss."

While walking along a public road this morning, minding my own business, a landowner at Dalsetter drove up to me telling me to stick to the public road and not to set one foot on his land. I asked him if he had heard of the Scottish Outdoor Access Code but he just repeated same.

From yesterday morning at @Bempton_Cliffs, this northern gannet rose up the cliff face right in front of me and was so close I captured it at a 100mm focal length. @Natures_Voice

Squirrels survive the winter by storing nuts during the autumn. Look out for them digging up their stashes in parks and gardens #Autumnwatch

Is there anything cuter than a red squirrel with a nut? #Autumnwatch
