Excellent news this morning - we just need a #righttoroam and #wildcamp in England, Wales, and NI as our friends in Scotland and Dartmppr enjoy responsibly.

Loving my Cosy 6 that Octopus installed in March - courtesy of the £7,500 grant.
I suspect a key reason the powers that be don't want us to have a #righttoroam in England & Wales is they want to keep hidden the damage they do to our great outdoors, because when we see them damage our nature, like the trees in Sheffield, we rise up and protect our environment. Excellent article.
Joined my fellow H&S professionals on a hike taking in Higher Shelf Stones (621m), pausing to reflect at the B29 and Lancaster Bomber crash sites.
It is important to me that we take time to pause, reflect, and focus on wellbeing to recharge.
11.7km with 494m of elevation.

Unfortunately no - most slebs and sports people these days are in the 7% who are privately educated and from the wealthier elements of our society, and not what I would call 'regular people'.
I have zero sympathy for Detorri - I just hope that HMRC continues to ensure that taxes owend will be paid and not written off.
All the best to all the finalists - great to see lots of emerging talent supporting risk and safety management recognised for the work they are doing. #safety
I think people here in Britain, especially many news orgs, forget it was the Trade Union movement that led to democracy in our country, better employment conditions and pay, and importantly to me they drove the improvement in health and safety, ensuring workers don't die while working. #safety
Use my #Octopus Energy referal code 131424803016 in a shameless attempt by me to make money - we both receive £100 if you sign up for a heat pump or solar panels - give your solar or heat pump specialist this at any point before final agreement signed!

It is amazing what signs lawyers and insurance companies tell us to put up - yet H&S is blamed for them! Where there is blame there is a claim culture can be slightly annoying at times when we in H&S want to focus on real issues and not signs which are mostly ineffective!
Looked what arrived today! Looking forward to the install of my #Cosy6 #heatpump courtesy of @octopus.energy and a grant from our govt - just need grants for EV chargers so I can go fully electric!
Thinking of going green? You can use my #referalcode - 131424803016 #ad
Out in Werneth Low today, taking a short break at the summit of Idle Hill - 260m.
A bit windy!
Anyway, good to be in out Great Outdoors building up my steps as I try and rid myself of a few kg and build up my fitness to attemopt a multi-day trail in September.

Just had my survey for a heat pump to be installed - waiting for the full quote to see how much it will cost, but with a £7,500 grant hopefully not much more to pay.
The experience in Scotland since 2005 shows that the claimed damage by walkers accessing our great outdoors is a myth.
In England we only have 8% of our country to access, most in remote areas far away from where most live. The economic and health benefits of a #righttoroam are well evidenced.
The greatest innovation to help grow our economy, safeguard our precious ecosystems, and reduce the burden on our NHS by better mental and physical health and wellbeing is to intorduce a Scottish style right to roam in England, yet no mention of that. A very poor speech.
#righttoroam #greatoutdoors
Another awesome hike admiring safety signs in our great outdoors.
Oh, wandered around Torside and Rosewood Reservoirs too, and checked that there will be enough water for supplying my house this summer without a hosepipe ban - should be OK.

Disappointing it took so long for our Newspaper of Record to acknowledge and correct a mistake, and only because
@eciu.net challenged The Times through IPSO as the editor and journalist ignored corrsspondance sent by ECIU. Well done ECIU!

One of the best games I ever played was Aliens by Leading Edge Games with cardboard characters stuck in plastic bases - amazing fun because of the excellent gameplay. Wish I knew where my copy went - seems to go for £450 on ebay!
Enjoying the #safetysigns as I hiked around Dovestone on a lovely winter walk this morning.
Do we need signs like this in our Great Outdoors? I say no!
I recorded a few things in 2024 so now it is time to start publishing and sharing!

As part of my #PhD journey, I am widening my research into leadership beyond H&S focused articles and texts - and I think I have found the ideal book to read - encompassing my two greatest interests - all things Tolkien and H&S.
#safety #phdlife #tolkien
And far too many people work in unsafe and unhealthly conditions - uniosn were the driver of H&S improvements - you need to be at the fore front once again to enhace worker #health and #safety.

I am proud to be a #union member - joined the day I left the army.
Unions and their members forced governments to enact laws to protect the health, #safety, and welfare of working people. Journalists, MPs, and ministers often forget this crucial role in the development of our country.
Me testing an Evac Chair at the London Safety and Health Expo in 2023 - looking forward to trying another chair out at

Halfway into #Movember2024 walking 11K steps a day I've managed a total of 180,557; An average of 12,037. Am feeling a bit fitter and have lost a few kg too.
Also raised £150 for men's health - if you want to help increase that please follow the link.

15 years ago today was my last day of 20 years service in the British Army.
12 years in the Intelligence Corps followed by 8 years in the Medical Corps was enough for me so I retired.
I was never really 'army barmy'; in reality I was a civvie who wore DPM to work.
