Hips, trips, training and getting kids outside!
We’ve just come back from a long weekend in Alnwick, Northumberland. We’ve been wanting to go back since taking the kids nearly ten years ago. With its glorious coastline, abundance of castles and pretty villages there really is something for everyone. Which will explain why, along with obvious global reasons, it was so difficult to…
We finally made it on the Hewenden Viaduct walk, a family walk I had been itching to try for ages. It was rather more adventurous than I had anticipated and so I have given several options at the bottom of the post for those with little legs, who prefer wheels or don’t like the idea…
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….
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…
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. Please note items were available at time of publishing. Hello, I’ve not done one of these for a while, but I’ve recently…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
