Why I Think Local Adventures Are Important

Is there a more pleasant way of spending a warm spring day than hiking to the top of a fell in the lake district and watching the sunset over the mountains? It sounds great and would be hard to argue against. If you are anything like me though, who, between working 6 days a weekContinue reading “Why I Think Local Adventures Are Important”

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”

I Bought A Drone

I’ve got a trip planned for next year which I wanted to be able to document in a full video. I’ve been messing about with filming for a few weeks with my camera as it adds a different way of sharing stories. Rather than just writing about it and sharing photos. As well as givingContinue reading “I Bought A Drone”

Let’s Walk Up a Hill and Watch the Sunset

It’s been a while since I sat down and wrote anything. A consequence of not spending enough time outside, I feel, having let work and other big life changes draw me into the comforts of instant gratification. Usually, in the form of sitting on the sofa, Netflix keeping me company.

Walk: Stanton – Snowshill, The Cotswold Way

It’s a sunny bank holiday and we’re not being told to stay inside. Everyone I know who isn’t at work is probably at home nursing a hangover from the weekend. As I’m lying in bed at 8 am, I have no plans. Nowhere I need to go, nothing I need to do. Brief thoughts ofContinue reading “Walk: Stanton – Snowshill, The Cotswold Way”

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”
