Enjoying life, sharing challenges, fun in the outdoors and exploring beautiful Britain.
Tomorrow we start to walk the Cotswold Way, a 102 mile long distance footpath that runs from Chipping Campden to Bath along the Cotswold escarpment. This a challenge for us, a long distance adventure, up and down hills, with walking days from 9 to 15 miles, short distances for some but quite long walks for …
On a sunny day at the end of February we set off for a walk from Haslemere. We were staying at Hunter Basecamp, accommodation for volunteers provided by the National Trust, for the weekend, and having arrived early on Friday this was the perfect opportunity to explore before we met up with our fellow volunteers …

Yesterday we set out in the morning intending to join our local bird group for a walk. Watching the rain batter against the windscreen, rivulets falling from the sky, we changed our minds, wary of getting wet and then cold sitting in a bird hide and decided to head out for a walk instead. Our …
It's been a slighter slower month for waking than January. There have been wet, stormy, windy days where a lunchtime walk has not been appealing. Although I did walk in the midst of the winds of Storm Doris, an invigorating experience that almost took my breath away! I walked 68.83 miles in February bringing my …
Last weekend was grey and damp, not conducive to time spent outside, or so it seemed from inside! Once we got out and walking however, we warmed up and enjoyed our walk. We headed for Virginia Water, part of the Royal Landscape of Windsor Great Park. Under the leaden skies there were pops of colour, …
I set myself challenges for 2017, one of which was to walk 1000 miles this year. To do this I need to walk on average 2.74 miles a day on average. What am I including in my challenge? I am including lunchtime walks, walks where I would have otherwise taken the car, walks after work, …
We've had a run of clear, cold, bright days, a balm to the soul after days of mist, rain and gloom. Head banging, tonight I left the office before dark. To shift the headache, where better to head than the riverside at dusk, still and quiet, supremely calming. At this time of year, plants show …
I'm aiming to walk 1000 miles this year, so when today started with a meeting close to home instead of from my usual office 10 or so miles away it seemed the perfect opportunity for a walk. The sky was the particular shade of purest azure seen only on a cold winter's day, the sun …
We’re already a week or so into the New Year but I wanted to share my challenges and plans for this year. I’m not making traditional New Year’s resolutions, as I know I won’t stick to them. This year I have some challenges instead, and putting them up here will hopefully keep me accountable to …
