RUMBLINGS…

A healthy peat bog - photo from Moors for the Future

Ever bog-hopped your way across the Peak District’s peaty moors and wished you could do a little bit to help negate all that erosion you’re causing?

Well, here’s a way you can help by simply lifting a finger. That’s nothing more than lifting a finger, note.

The Moors for the Future project, managed by my old pal Chris Dean, is through to the finals of the National Lottery’s Best Environment Project awards – and it needs your vote.

Many scientists and environmentalist believe that peat moors are the UK’s best store of carbon gases, a natural defence against global warming.

Many congrats to Gayle and Mick who completed their Land’s End to John O’ Groats walk early yesterday afternoon.

The couple, who’ve kept a great blog account – read it here – throughout their progress, started on April 15 and have been raising funds for MacMillan Cancer Support (you can make donations here).

I’ve completely neglected the UK Triple Crown sections of my website pages in recent months (actually, I’ve neglected most of the pages there, since the site was set up!) but hopefully a quick glance will help Gayle and Mick realise that they’re now a third of the way to becoming Triple Crowners!
