Hike More. Camp More. Swim More.
I first injured my knee back in October 2018. I tore a ligament playing netball and it's safe to say my knee hasn't been right since. At the time, I had the support of my husband, both emotionally and financially. I didn't have to worry about rushing back to work, or getting from A to... Continue Reading →
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 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 →
This January has been an expensive one, with a mix of unexpected and unavoidable extra costs, as well as lots of little things that end up costing a lot in total. The biggest factor adding to my expenses was my car, which needed to go into the garage. I also had a trip back up... 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 →
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 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 →
