Norfolk Coast Path We got up early again the next morning and packed away well before 7 AM. After a quick stop off at the village hall to make the most of their picnic bench and running water whilst eating breakfast, we walked back down the road, past the pub from the night before, andContinue reading “Peddars Way & Norfolk Coast Path: Part 2”

Just Do Nothing
If you are anything like me, then it’s far too easy to get distracted these days. I can’t even sit and watch TV without checking my phone every couple of minutes and playing my Switch at the same time. Things get so busy, and there’s so much craving for your attention, that even 5 minutesContinue reading “Just Do Nothing”
Escape to the Hills
Life has slowly gotten in the way again. Busyness creeps up on you, and without realising you are merely bouncing from one task to another without stopping between. So, when offered two days off work for a bank holiday, I decided to make the most of it, packed my tent into the boot of myContinue reading “Escape to the Hills”
Looking For Local Adventure
For 28 years I have lived in the same town. Surrounded by industrial estates, and busy roads. It would take me 4 or 5 miles to escape the busyness of life and find my way into the countryside. Now having moved to a small rural village, it takes me less than 5 minutes on foot.

Lockdown is easing and overnight stays are permitted again in the UK. After months of staying local, I have been given the freedom to stretch the legs further afield in my search for adventure. I wanted to do something different, something I hadn’t done before. After a little bit of browsing online I settled onContinue reading “Camping in a Cave”
A 26.2 Mile Adventure
“Running has thrown me into adventures that I otherwise would have missed.” Benjamin Cheever Two years ago I hobbled across the finish line of the Liverpool marathon 56 minutes over my target time of 4 hours. A swollen knee at 10 miles had seen off any hope of going under 4 hours. As I satContinue reading “A 26.2 Mile Adventure”
Lockdown – Looking Local
For the past 3 months we’ve been restricted to exercising outside in your local area only. This has meant I’ve had to rely even more on what’s on my doorstep. There is a nature area near to my house which I’ve visited more times in the last 3 months, than I had in the 3Continue reading “Lockdown – Looking Local”
