Hike More. Camp More. Swim More.
Having not been able to get out and about recently due to my knee, I've had a lot of time to sort through my kit and have a bit of a clear out. In the process of doing this, it's highlighted those key bits of kits that I go back to time and time again.... 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 →
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 →

Power on the road makes life so much easier. 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 →
My goodness it's a minefield out there. There are so many things to consider: size, price, quality, delivery times....
