Kettlewell to Arncliffe circular – Mother’s Day treat!
My Mother’s Day treat was a walk in the Yorkshire Dales, from Kettlewell to Arncliffe.

We spent the previous weekend at the Outdoor Expo at the NEC Birmingham,…
Low Bradfield, High Bradfield circular walk
Getting outside with the family was top of the list for a recent weekend outing. The circular walk from Low Bradfield to High Bradfield sounded to be just what we needed.

A new toy – Ooni Fyra Pizza Oven
An impulse buy and new toy a few months ago, was an Ooni pizza oven! A treat to myself and something to look forward to when I broke up from Uni for the Summer. There was quite a wait for it to arrive, as I think most of the country must have ordered one too….
Embsay Reservoir and Embsay Crag
This Embsay reservoir walk is a great little walk if you’ve tiny people, or those who can’t walk far. Although there is plenty of land to explore above the reservoir too, including Embsay Crag.
