It’s easy to dismiss this as just another social media meme, but every example is rooted in real science. Whales really do sing songs that can travel extraordinary distances through the ocean. Trees can connect through underground fungal networks and preferentially support their own offspring. Dolphins develop unique signature whistles that function much like individual…
Most of us think we need a long walk, a hard workout or a trip to the gym to improve our health. Yet research suggests one of the simplest things we can do is take a short walk after eating. Studies have found that light activity shortly after a meal can reduce post-meal blood sugar…
Many people assume that a fear of heights is something that can be overcome through logic. “You’re perfectly safe.” “Just look where you’re putting your feet.” “It’s only a narrow path.” Unfortunately, if it were that simple, nobody would ever freeze on a steep slope, rocky scramble or exposed coastal path.

The camp stirred early as we prepared for the 805 bus to Durness, enjoying one last porridge breakfast before heading to the Spar for snacks
Sunday May 11th 2025 CWT Day 17: Firing Range to Cape Wrath – Approx: 4.5 miles, with the best of endings
