I wrote this blog a little differently. Instead of writing it out here on my website and sharing it across social media. I decided to share the whole blog through a series of Instagram stories. You can catch up on the entire thing below, or follow my Instagram for regular updates about everything I doContinue reading “Wales 2017”

Finding Your Spot of Nature
I live in England, a country recognised for its picturesque landscapes. After posh accents and afternoon tea, the rolling green countryside is not far down the list of what people think of when they consider England. A stroll through a countryside village at the peak of spring can be a sight to behold. According toContinue reading “Finding Your Spot of Nature”
Back on the Bike
I fell in love with cycling when I was a kid. Ten years old, I raced around the estate with my friends on a second-hand bike I’d had from a cousin. That bike was battered, covered in Pokémon stickers and about three sizes too big for me. Yet, it was my earliest passport to adventure.Continue reading “Back on the Bike”
My Year in Review: 2022
2022 has seen significant changes in my life. A new job and a new house have come, but so too has a drive for different types of adventures. Gone are the days of running laps of the park and chasing PB’s on Strava to get me out the door.
A Walk To My Local Hill
A few weeks ago I managed to get a couple of days off work and spend them in the Peak District, climbing up hills and looking at pretty views. It was great to be honest, watching the world from above.
Let’s Walk Up a Hill and Watch the Sunset
I started to write this blog post last week. Whilst writing the opening paragraph, I got carried away sharing some home truths with myself, and instead ended up with a page of text on my observations of my relationship with social instead. I mention in that blog that I had recently spent a day travellingContinue reading “Let’s Walk Up a Hill and Watch the Sunset”
Social Media: A Reality Check
I stopped using my personal Instagram account years ago. A social media platform designed to share photos of what you’ve been up to with friends, it quickly became a way to compare your own life with others, most of who you don’t even know, often leaving you wondering why your own life wasn’t as excitingContinue reading “Social Media: A Reality Check”
Cup of Tea Before Work
When I first made this website, I wanted to help guide other people on how they can spend more time outdoors. I shared this post about small changes you could make daily to get more time outdoors and in nature. One of those changes was taking your first-morning tea or coffee outside.
Bradgate Park: A Video
When I first started this blog, it was to hone my skills as a beginner writer. I wanted to develop my own ability, to the point where I would be happy to share my own stories with people, and hopefully, they might enjoy reading them. I thought writing was the process I wanted, but I’veContinue reading “Bradgate Park: A Video”
Peddars Way & Norfolk Coast Path: Part 3
Norfolk Coast Path (cont) When we sat and ate breakfast the next morning, we planned out the day as we normally would. The problem is it’s hard to plan the day when you’re travelling. Some days your 10 miles in before you stop for 2nd breakfast, other days it gets to lunch, and you’ve onlyContinue reading “Peddars Way & Norfolk Coast Path: Part 3”
