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”
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.

I’ve heard a couple of people tell me now, that if you can avoid any symptoms then isolating because of Covid-19 can be a good opportunity to relax and take a break. But what about if your idea of relaxing is far from putting your feet up and bingeing through another Netflix series. What aboutContinue reading “Isolation”
Camping in a Cave
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”
