Hi everyone, hope you're keeping well! Apologies for the silent treatment of late.

As you may have seen from my last backpack blog post, I am a bit of a backpack whore.
I have many different bags, for many different purposes, and love everyone.
And I especially love Osprey packs. I've used them on 6-month round the world…
The Lake District is my favourite place in the UK to hike.
Situated in the North West of England, and around a 2 hour drive from Manchester, the Lake District is Englands's largest National Park, and second largest in the UK.

I spent most of my life believing - with some certainty - that the now demolished Ponsmere Hotel in Perranporth was the closest hotel to a beach in the UK. It was called the 'hotel on the beach', after all.
A few have come close, but none…

It's very, very rare I write rants on this blog, but this one is long overdue.
A couple of years ago I wrote a post about why my blog and social media had been pretty quiet.
The main reason for that post - in summary - was due to how false…

Up until last year, I have skied for at least once a week, every year since 2002. Aside from getting married, a big…

It's difficult to pin point one, because there have been many...like, MANY...and I have the crows feet to prove it :)
But one story always sticks out in my mind because it happened…
