@tes @NEUnion The best decision I made was leaving the UK to teach. There are so many more opportunities elsewhere, and it’s easier to create a better life while embracing a broader perspective.

Around a third of primary teachers say they have 'little or no influence at all' over the content of individual lessons, according to @neunion research into the impact of standardised curriculum packages tes.com/magazine/news/…

So, I've finally got around to doing some writing. Here is a short review of the Salomon Activ Skin 12-litre Trail Running vest. If you would like to take a look, share your thoughts and opinions, or suggest an alternative, here is the link to the post: garethmate.com/blogs/salomon-…

@StagecoachCNL Thank you for your excellent communication and prompt, proactive service. My lost property was returned this morning on time, by courier, and without any issues. I can't fault you! 🙂👍🏻

Views for days at the top of the Roaches trig point. I love this view and all that it brings. 🏃‍♂️ #TrailRunning #theroaches #ThePhotoHour #PeakDistrict

I enjoyed another good trail run over rocky paths and undulating terrain yesterday. The scenery was fantastic, and the weather was too. 🏃‍♂️ #trailrunning #trailrun #PeakDistrict

Yesterday's trail run mix of 15km was pretty special. Not a soul around, simply the sights and sounds of nature. 🌳🏃‍♂️ #trailrunning #trailrun

@MichelleU_Wood Thank you!

@GarethMate_ Well done, Gareth! 👏

Bergse Plasloop 10km 🏃 It was a local run and a great little event covering 5, 10 and 15km. I went off faster than I'd expected, but once in my stride, I was comfortable maintaining it. Very pleased! 😊 #running

@MichelleU_Wood Thank you! 🙌🏻

@GarethMate_ Wow!!

One man and his dog 🐶 Out walking on a beautiful morning. #sunlight #rotterdam #kralingsebos #ThePhotoHour

@TimMcKenna01 My cycle commute ends here every morning on the West Coast. It is a joy to cycle in the Netherlands, except when it rains and the wind blows. 😊

Beautiful Dutch morning on day two of my little escape. Last night's leftovers for breakfast whilst I ponder today's route. Thinking I may scale back my Belgian ambitions to spend another day or two on the islands. It really is great cycling. Some pics from yesterday on the road:

@TimMcKenna01 Welcome to the Netherlands 🇳🇱 Enjoy! Fine weather, too. ☀️

Land ahoy! Welkom in Nederland 🇳🇱

The hike up to the top of the Flizenkogel with views of the Edel Hütte and impressive Ahornspitze located behind. Such a fantastic hike from the valley town of Mayrhofen. #hiking #austria #alps

As I stand on Grindon Moor, a captivating sight unfolds before me—the summer rain gracefully sweeping closer. Nature's gentle rhythm soothes my soul, reminding me of life's impermanence and the beauty in embracing every passing moment. #StormHour #ThePhotoHour #PeakDistrict

Above the Lakeland fells, nature's canvas unfurls with breathtaking views. Intricate patterns and vibrant colours blend to create a mesmerising spectacle—a reminder of our planet's boundless beauty and these infinite wonders waiting to be explored. #lakelandfells #aerialviews

I was mesmerised by the breathtaking cloud inversions over the Tux Valley, Austria. Nature's wonder at its finest! 😍☁️ #TuxValley #CloudInversions #Austria #Tyrol

A few weeks ago, I visited and Bouldered at the incredible Kletterzentrum in Innsbruck. It was a fantastic experience, so I have collected my thoughts here: garethmate.com/blogs/boulderi… #innsbruck #kletterzentrum #bouldering
