I’m a big advocate of trying to enjoy the little things in life. I don’t have the time to go on big, dangerous adventures. Instead of being down in the dumps about this, I think about all the adventure I can squeeze into my life. Whether a walk on my lunch break or a quickContinue reading “A Photography Everyday Adventure”

Hiking the Leicestershire Round: Rearsby to Frisby on the Wreake
Date: Monday 27th May Distance: 5 Miles The fourth walk of our Leicestershire Round Hike started on another bank holiday. This is starting to become a bit of a trend… However, if we only walked on Bank holidays it would take us 3 years to complete. Perhaps we need to make an effort to goContinue reading “Hiking the Leicestershire Round: Rearsby to Frisby on the Wreake”
Why Photographs Are Important
Some people are lucky enough to take a picture which changes history, or documents a moment that people will talk about and share for centuries to come. If you’re like me however, you might have a camera roll on your phone full of photos people have never even seen. Nevertheless, they’re just as important asContinue reading “Why Photographs Are Important”
30 Parkrun Challenge – 1 to 5
So I’ve set myself the challenge of completing 30 Parkrun’s before I turn 31 in December. For those who don’t know, Parkrun is a weekly 5k run which takes place on a Saturday morning. There’s thousands of courses worldwide, all run by volunteers, meaning it’s free to take part! I’ve not been very consistent with attendingContinue reading “30 Parkrun Challenge – 1 to 5”
My Favourite Photos of 2023
I was sitting drinking a coffee the other morning before work, scrolling aimlessly through my phone, and Facebook popped up with a memories post from 14 years ago. It was a picture of 16-year-old me, crouching down in the woods taking a macro photo of some flowers on my Motorola phone. I’d just realised thatContinue reading “My Favourite Photos of 2023”
Turning 30
I’m a week away from turning thirty. I can’t say I’m too bothered about the prospect of it myself, but it does seem to bother everyone else. Ever since turning 29, I’ve been reminded constantly that “you’ll be 30 next year”, almost as if my life is due to end and I can forget aboutContinue reading “Turning 30”
Cycling the NC500: When Adventure Goes Wrong!
Nearly 2 weeks ago I got back from what I had planned to be a 500-mile self-supported cycle around the north coast of Scotland. I’ll write another post about the trip, covering why I did it and how the first 6 days went, but this post is about the final day of the trip. WhatContinue reading “Cycling the NC500: When Adventure Goes Wrong!”
Returning to the Norfolk Coast
I was sat a couple of weeks ago sipping my morning coffee on the sofa. I’ve got a bad habit of wasting time in the morning just scrolling through social media for an hour without actually paying any attention to what I’m looking at. This morning was a bit different though. Facebook had kindly remindedContinue reading “Returning to the Norfolk Coast”
What was my first bikepacking trip like?
I was sitting in a pub in 2015 when I first mentioned the idea of cycling to Paris. I’d had a few drinks at the time, so my friends must have thought I was joking because they all burst out laughing. I was 22 years old and other than a lad’s holiday to Magaluf whenContinue reading “What was my first bikepacking trip like?”
I’m Starting a Newsletter – Why Not Subscribe?
I’ve been debating for a while the idea of starting a newsletter. I spend a lot of time doing very small adventures, and they’re usually not big enough to write a blog post about on here. For example, one of my favourite ways of spending time outside each day is going out to water allContinue reading “I’m Starting a Newsletter – Why Not Subscribe?”
