12 Apostles walk – Ilkley and Burley Moor
If you’re looking for an easy walk from Ilkley Moor, with a circle of standing stones, then this might be the walk for you. It also includes the option of making it slightly longer to include a pub stop! My kids love Ilkley moor and are always asking to go and walk up there…
North Norfolk Coastal Path and Seal trip!
There’s so much to do in North Norfolk, that with just a few days to fill, we were spoilt for choice with how to spend our time. Staying at Burnham Deepdale on our Margin’s Glamping holiday, we had the North Norfolk coastal path literally on our doorstep. A walk along the path to see the…
Margins Walking and Glamping Holidays – Norfolk Adventure
How does arriving at your glamping destination, tent ready with everything you need, local produce waiting and a lovely welcome sound? That’s exactly what we got when we arrived for our North Norfolk holiday with Margins Walking and Glamping holidays. I’ve been ‘talking’ to Gin on social media for ages, we’re both hippy chicks not…
A stroll around Lymm Dam
Having spent a weekend with friends, breaking up the long drive home, I took a walk around Lymm Dam, Cheshire. It’s a beautiful tranquil spot with woodland, bridleways and lake. You wouldn’t believe that it’s just five minutes’ drive away from the roar of the M6. A great place for the kids to explore and…
Pits and Bits Review
We love our weekend adventures and getting the whole family outside. Invariably we come back a little tired and dusty. Why is it always me that manages to find the secretly hidden bog? We’ve recently been testing out ‘Pits and Bits’ and a range of their products. They got in touch with me to tell…
7 hours in Bruges!
I love a mini cruise. It means we can have an adventure away, it feels like a holiday and the kids get to see a small part of another country. A few weeks ago, we did the P&O Mini cruise from Hull to Zeebrugge. We’ve visited Bruges before when the kids were a lot smaller…

Outdoor Bloggers goody bag and my Environmental Heroes
The most recent Outdoor Bloggers gathering was in the beautiful location of Cheddar in Somerset. Having put up the tent, we sat around the campfire with everyone, eating our dinner.

Cheddar Outdoor Bloggers Weekend
How would you like to spend the weekend with like-minded people? A fabulous location, walking, chatting and warming yourself by a campfire in the evening?

Chatburn – Forest of Bowland
We’re trying to venture slightly further afield and discover new places for our family walks. So, a few weeks ago having visited Gisburn Forest, we again went over into Lancashire to a village called Chatburn, not far from Clitheroe. Having perused the Forest of Bowland website for walking routes, I was able to see a…
