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. In case you’re feeling more adventurous! I can’t remember where we were in restrictions at this point, but I remember taking…
Loving this Spring 2021
A place to share what I’m currently loving this Spring, either items I’ve bought or places we’ve been to that I think deserve a shoutout. I have received no incentive for sharing these. Hello, I’ve not done one of these for a while, but I’ve recently bought a few items that I wanted to share…
Marsden Pule Hill – New Year’s Day Walk
I was so excited to go for a walk near Marsden at Pule Hill. We try and go for a walk to welcome in the new year, last year visiting Hackfall woods for a festive walk. Obviously, the Christmas celebrations were rather different this year. A walk in Marsden has been on the list for…
Stainburn Forest walk – The need for more trees!
I have been neglecting my blog a little these past few months. A combination really of, well you know what, and my uni course has been keeping me in front of the computer. It hasn’t felt right to be promoting the great outdoors when not everyone can go out and enjoy it. I have been…
Bramley Fall woods – A walk amongst the trees
Are you in need of walks in the trees? Do you think it’s an ‘Autumn thing’ or with everything going on do people just need to connect with nature? I certainly needed a tree kind of walk this weekend. I would have loved to have gone to a forest, but with the new tier system…
Gargrave – A short walk and trig bagging for little legs
With a rare Mummy and Daughter day, we decided to take our new walkie talkies on a short walk in Gargrave. Gargrave is just a couple of miles from Skipton North Yorkshire, off the A65, has a few shops and the Leeds Liverpool canal running through it. From the free carpark, we turned right up…
Margins Pop up glamping at Warham, Norfolk
One of only two tents, beside the saltmarshes of North Norfolk and close to the coastal path, was our home for a weekend recently. We’ve stayed in North Norfolk before and loved it. With a global pandemic raging I didn’t think we’d be having any sort of summer holiday. Until Margins Glamping and walking holidays,…
Chatsworth House Gardens – during a pandemic!
I decided on the spur of the moment to book a visit to Chatsworth House gardens. I’ve been wary of visiting ‘tourist attractions’ since the lockdown rules have been relaxed even further. Some of the pictures from beauty spots of overcrowding and littering have been horrifying. However, I needn’t have worried about this at…
Sharp Haw and trig bagging with the kids!
Our most recent family walk was up Sharp Haw, a conical shaped hill known as Skipton’s Matterhorn. A fact I’ve only just learnt! Sharp Haw also has an easy trig point for the kids to bag. I’ve great affection for this hill, as driving towards college it would appear in the distance and I would…
