Hike More. Camp More. Swim More.
One of my favourite things about moving down to the South West, is having a completely different landscape to explore. So I thought I'd share a few of my favourite places I've been to so far. Trevose Head to Treyarnon Rock Pool This area has quickly become one of my favourites in Cornwall and definitely... Continue Reading →
The rat race of the corporate world was not for me. Having money and 'things' didn't make me happy. It took me quite a while to realise that I didn't have to continue on this path and that I could in fact work a part time job and make time for adventures, whilst still being... Continue Reading →
It's quite well known that there is a rich mining history within both Cornwall and Devon, with the majority of the UK's tin, copper and arsenic being mined there up until the 20th century. There is so much of this history still visible throughout the South West, so I decided to learn and explore this... Continue Reading →
Cold water swimming/dipping is something that has become extremely popular over the last few years, especially during lockdown. I started dipping back in December 2020 and haven't looked back. After that first snowy dip, I was hooked. To start with, the cold water became a place where I could switch off from the busyness in... Continue Reading →
The Lake District is by far one of my favourite places. Though the weather may not always be quite so glorious, the variety of the scenery is second to none and all just a stones throw away from each other. Back at the start of March, I took a very brief trip up to the... Continue Reading →
Recently, I've been doing a very good job of getting in my own head and beating myself up over silly things, so the timing of this fell right when I most needed it. Firstly I want to say a huge thank you to Felicity for hosting an incredible retreat and creating such a calm and... Continue Reading →
It's safe to say that I'm starting to miss the mountains a lot. Working odd shifts here and there makes it difficult to get a good chunk of time off in one go and with the closest mountain range being around 4 hours away, it's not something I can do in a day. I do... Continue Reading →
Back at the start of the very first lock down, I bought myself all the kit to go wild camping, with every intention of taking myself off for some solo camps. Safe to say, the furthest my tent got was the garden one August evening. It was a mix of apprehension of doing it alone,... Continue Reading →
Over the last couple of weeks I have been getting out for a dip pretty much every morning. Yes there have been days when I've struggled to get out of bed, but on the whole it's something I look forward to. I've been cold water dipping for over a year, but I've never got into... 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 →
