So I've just finished my first 10km towards a 300km run over the course of the month of July, raising funds for @77thGDS - a truly fantastic charity I've had the privilege of being part of for more than 15 years. Please consider donating if you can: https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

Second 10km done - a trip down memory lane - round the quadrangles at @UofGlasgow! Please consider donating to @77thGDS if you’re able, and help us make our outdoor adventure centre accessible for all! https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

Only managed a 8km run today (it was a wee bit dreich tbf) but made it to the borderlands!

Part of a 300km virtual tour of Scotland. Your support for the @77thGDS appeal would be hugely appreciated - https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

10km today, day four of #GDSTour 300km in July. The Clyde from Yoker. Thanks to everyone who has kindly donated so far - for anyone else who is able to support @77thGDS in any way, we’d hugely appreciate it. https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

Day five, another 10km done, round Temple and Netherton in the sun/rain/sun/gails/sun/rain!

I’m on a 300km virtual tour of Scotland raising money for @77thGDS so if you’ve got even a couple of quid to spare we’d really appreciate it: https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

Day six, 11km run today the wrong way up hills! the view from the flagpole hill in Ruchill Park.

I’m running every day in July to raise money for @77thGDS and our appeal to make an outdoor centre accessible to all. Please sponsor me if you’re able to: https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

Day 7, another 10km done, and remembering never to run *up* Cleveden Rd from the canal ever again.

I’ve got another three weeks of these 10km runs, so if you’re able to make a wee donation to a great charity, please do! https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

Day 8, another 10km and back to the canal and then a very, very drookit run round High Knightswood.

@77thGDS has raised an incredible £13k from this fundraising appeal but a wee donation from you would get us even closer to the target. https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

Day 9, 10km round Woodside today. Found this, probably defined “stalled space” but actually pretty cool.

If you’re able, I’m dragging myself round 10km a day to raise money for @77thGDS - would be great if you could support in any way. https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

Day 10, today’s 10km took me from Woodside to Firhill, Hamiltonhill, Possilpark and back. Here’s a great wee fairytale from Westercommon and St George’s in the Fields, Woodside.

Any size of donation would make a huge difference to the work of @77thGDS - https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

Day 11, back to lanes of the west end and city centre today, and spotting postboxes in hedges.

Donations for @77thGDS gratefully received as I pass the 100km mark! https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

So day 12, bright and early in a silent, still city centre.

I’m at 50% of my target for the 300km running in July for @77thGDS - if you’re able, here’s the page for a wee donation: https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

Day 13 , back to the hills of Kelvindale - climbed half the height of Dumgoyne running round these streets today!

Donations for the @77thGDS Glengoyne Lodge Appeal gratefully received - and thanks to all those who have donated already. https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

It’s a High Knightswood 10km sort of day, with moody views across the west of the city.

Nearly at the half way mark having ran 142km so far this month. If you can support @77thGDS with a wee donation it would be appreciated - https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

Back to Knightswood, and a surprising sub-49 minute 10km which for me is good going. Saw this postbox protection racket in action too.

You know the score by now; but donations really are appreciated. https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

Another run round Knightswood today past the demolition at the old Garscadden Primary.

Donations for an amazing project by @77thGDS still gratefully received as I plod round the streets for another few days! https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

Secret lanes and hidden gardens of Kelvindale today, and if you’re rich enough, your private entrances to public parks. Shouldn’t be allowed.

Donations for @77thGDS appeal here pretty please! https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/MichaelShanks2 

Maryhill and the Wyndford for today’s 10km, and found my own street! (possibly the biggest let down ever - it’s really not an exciting street!)

Donations for @77thGDS still gratefully received! (only two weeks of this to go don’t worry!)

Wee trip south today for a run round Drumoyne and Linthouse. Was curious who Jack Daw’s garden was for (it’s eccentric to say the least) but I think it’s jackdaw the bird... ⁣
⁣
Still running 10km every day to raise money for @77thGDS. All donations gratefully received.

Unusual sightings on today’s 10km run through Dumchapel (or Drumchapellé) as I once heard it pronounced!⁣
⁣
Last 100km to go of this fundraising challenge for @77thGDS - would be great if you could make a wee donation if you haven’t already! https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-display/showROFundraiserPage?userUrl=MichaelShanks2&pageUrl=1

Old Drumchapel and Blairdardie for today’s 10km, and a wee view from the Keal multis!

10 days of 10km runs left raising money for @77thGDS to create an accessible outdoor centre for disabled children. Any donations much appreciated!

Criss-crossing the canal today and a run through Knightswood/Blairdardie/Old Drumchapel (don’t want to forget any districts - big no no!)

9 days left of this mammoth fundraiser for @77thGDS - would be great if you could support in any way. https://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-display/showROFundraiserPage?userUrl=MichaelShanks2&pageUrl=1

I really, really did do another 10km tonight but @Garmin is down so you’ll just have to trust me! Wyndford and Maryhill tonight.

The East Dun/Glasgow borderlands today and then up to Drumchapel for a great view of the city.

Garmin still not working but it was 10km, honest!
