Went for an urban walk today around #Dartmouth and enjoyed looking for signs and clues taught by @thenaturalnavigator in his excellent book about the outdoors. Today I was on the look-out for lichens which have been used for many years as sources of food, dyes and even embalming 😱 I love these little organisms because they tell you a lot about your environment and can be seen all the time. Did you, like me, mistake ‘lecanora muralis’ for chewing gum? ☺️ On this wall I was excited to see blobs of lecanora alongside the distinct golden coloured ‘xanthoria parietina’. You’ll find this lichen mostly in sunny south facing places, particularly coastal ones. Dartmouth is certainly that! (Well, mostly sunny - today was not so much ☔️) It’s interesting to note the spaces around us as they tell us a lot about where we are. What will you see on your next walk through town? #naturalnavigator #urbanwalk #lichens #devon #discoverdartmouth #dartmouth #walking #environment #outdoorcluesandsigns #countryfile #getoutside #gooutdoors
Ran from #Haytor all the way to #Torquay along the Templer Way and Stover Heritage Trail today just for fun 🥳 It was epic if a little 🥵 and it was interesting seeing the landscape change while reading some history along the way too 🤓 You can see Haytor from where I live which makes the completion of the 16mile route even sweeter. And the views are RIDIC. If you live in South Devon and you run, then go do this route! PS: I’ve not moved from the sofa since getting home 😂 #trailrunningsouthwest #thisiswhywerun #devon #lovedartmoor #englishriviera #ukrunchat #camelbak #runninginspiration #teignbridgetrotters #templerway #granitetramway #boveytracey #newtonabbot #runnersofinstagram #instarunners
