Hips, trips, training and getting kids outside!
My Son, affectionately known as Stick boy, has recently started going to Scouts. He’s only been there a few weeks but was able to go on his first Scout Camp with them a few weekends ago. I asked him how he got on in this interview. His answers are in his own words. Where was…
Have you been enjoying the heat wave? Whilst I prefer nice weather, and not howling wind and snow, I have to admit that I’m not great in the heat. Prickly heat and awful hay fever attempt to spoil my fun! With it being so hot we haven’t been out on any huge family walks; the…
A place to share with you what I’m currently loving this Summer, either things I’ve bought, come across or been given that I think deserve a shout out. Vionic shoes – at the recent Blog on conference I won a pair of Vionic shoes. With my hip problems and rehab journey with physio, I also…
Outdoor Bloggers Weekend – North Yorkshire I’m back from my first Outdoor Bloggers weekend which recently took place near Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire. A child free weekend, camping in a Bumble Bus, with walks, quizzes and chats with like-minded outdoorsy people.

With the “Beast from the East” and “Storm Emma” behind us, I was going to write about all the lovely things to do to get your kids out this Spring. I then heard that more of the white stuff might be on the way this weekend! Oh well, Spring if it is about to appear…

The group of ladies like me, are taking part in My Peak Challenge, an online fitness programme which also raises money for charity. I took part in the fitness programme last year and have renewed…
Wow! Well I knew 2017 would have some interesting adventures but it has been an incredible year. I had high hopes for 2017 and it certainly didn’t disappoint. I’ve had new adventures, discovered lots of new places, made some new friends and discovered not only am I capable but I’m stronger and more determined…
Everyone looks forward to a tasty filling lunch when you’ve been out walking all morning. So, when the guys from Summit to Eat offered us a few pouches of their freeze dried food to try, we couldn’t wait to test them out. The range of meals are hearty and nutritiously balanced, lightweight and easy to…
What adventures did I have this weekend? Oh, I was on top of a mountain summit in the dark, got my compass bearing slightly wrong and then it started sleeting. All for fun! If you’re wondering what on earth I was doing, my adventure this weekend was a three-day NNAS navigation course at Buckden, in…
