Hello and a very warm welcome to my hairy blog 😁 #Fahrenbruary* continues on at a pace and so today I present to you a repost of my review of the 2nd book in this wonderful, wonderful series. This review originally appeared last year…

I had a great time fungi hunting earlier today. I found quite a few tucked away along the Alban Way, an old disused branch line that has been turned into a cycle/footpath. I'm not entirely sure what any of these are, but, thanks to the magic of Google Lens, I do believe that we have an amethyst deceiver (the purple one), a collection of sulphur tuft (photo 5), a coral fungus (the last photo), a turkey tail (the 2nd photo), and a wonderful Rhodotus palmatus (the pink blobby one, aka wrinkled peach, aka photos 7-9). Rhodotus is apparently in severe decline across Europe, appearing on several Red Lists as either endangered or Critically Endangered, so it's very exciting to see it here (should that actually be what it is). I found several other species out there too, but damn IG's 10 photo limit 😂 #fungus #fungi #mycology #nature #naturalworld #shotononeplus7 #fruitingbodies #fruitingbody #woodland #autumn
I had a bit of a wander today to enjoy the crisp autumn day. Clocked up 20km (12 miles) and along the way nabbed a few shots of wot I did see 🍁🍂👍🏼 There's some cracking fungi out there right now. I saw a few absolute stunners, but annoyingly they were on other people's property so I couldn't photograph them on my phone. However, I did find a few beauties I could capture, along with some lichen and some other autumnal shizzle 👌🏻🍄 #fungi #fungus #autumn #thebritishbeardclub #tbbc
I do love a bit of @slash and @officialmyleskennedy and The Conspirators, especially when they're live. This album is cracking so far 🤘🏼 I'll get around to watching the accompanying DVD some time before the year is out I'm sure 😆
So @hannahgore96 and I completed our 100km continuous #thamespathchallenge in 26h 43m, which was far as I'm concerned is blinding. Hannah blistered early due, partly, to the surface underfoot in the first half, and I followed suit (though H had it way way worse than I). She had treatment from the excellent @actionchallenge medical staff and soldiered on without moaning (beyond the reasonable), until the end. She was brilliant. Thank you Hannah for everything and for being so wonderful for the entire 26 hours. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else by my side. We were raising money for the @mssocietyuk and you can donate through my JustGiving (www.justgiving.com/martygore71) page if you so desire I've already raised over £1000 and I'm so happy about that, but there's still room for more over the next 6 weeks 😉 This was far tougher than I thought it would be and I'm proper thrilled we completed it 😊 #ultrachallenge #ultrawalker #actionchallenge
Home, safe and sound. All in all an excellent trip home. Faultless all the way, well, as long as my bag arrives 😆. Same can't be said for poor Ben traveling to Australia, sadly. It's all going wrong for him 😟 Hopefully it's sorted now though.
I'm in Dubai awaiting my flight to Stanport Airsted. Halfway home now. Flight leaves in about 45 minutes, all being well. So far everything has gone smoothly 👍🏼 I had a hearty breakfast on the flight here, so I wonder what's for 2nd breakfast on this one? 😆🇦🇪🛫🛬🇬🇧
