Hike More. Camp More. Swim More.
Recently, I seem to have been getting so caught up in the negatives, in the worry and the what ifs. So as I lie here having a rest day (because my dodgy knee has gone again) I've been thinking about how lucky I am. I keep forgetting to take the time to just stop and... Continue Reading →
I'm not where I ever expected to be at 30. I thought I would be settled down with a family, a steady job, a nice house. I'd had a plan, but things just weren't meant to be that way. When I was at school it was just expected that you went to university. I picked... Continue Reading →
I still can't quite get my head around the fact that people feel inspired by the things I do. I am no expert. I get outdoors because I love it, because it's where I feel safe and it's one of the very few places my head lets me breathe. I started getting back into hiking... Continue Reading →
Three weeks ago I embarked on my biggest journey to date. I quit my job, packed up my life and moved to the other end of the country. I didn't really know what it would entail, other than that it would be physical, I'd meet new people and I'd need to find a job. These... Continue Reading →

We have a leisure battery in Sheddy, but we have always been very aware of making sure we don't use too much electricity, or have the fridge turned on for too long in case we manage to drain it. We were recently sent a portable solar... Continue Reading →
The Welsh 3000's is a 24 hour challenge, which consists of completing the 15 highest peaks in Wales. It's a gruelling 50km route, with over 3000m of ascent. I left home at 11:30 pm with one very full rucksack (you can check out my kit list below). As it's not a circular route, it takes... Continue Reading →

What do I need? Tow Float - These are a key piece of kit for safety, especially if you are doing longer... Continue Reading →
My goodness it's a minefield out there. There are so many things to consider: size, price, quality, delivery times.... I've wanted a paddle board for a long time, but choosing my own has certainly not been easy. In the end, me and my other half went for different brands based on our own personal wants....

I recently posted a picture on Instagram in my bikini, with a caption about how I'm currently very uncomfortable in myself and unhappy with the way I look. One troll took it upon himself to tell me that if I wasn't happy with myself, I wouldn't have posted the picture and that I was only... Continue Reading →
I've recently had quite a few people asking me how I've found those that I go out walking with, so I thought I'd share a few of the platforms that have helped me. It has definitely been a long process of pushing myself out of my comfort zone and building my confidence though. Local /Facebook... Continue Reading →
