So thanks to a very kind offer of use of a time share in Mallorca myself and Lou found ourselves jetting off to sunny Spain for a week. It’s not a destination we would have picked ourselves but we as the date drew nearer we got rather excited about having a lazy week in some guaranteed…

So i wrote this post a while back and forgot to post it. Its a little story about the Isle of Mull. Back in 2014 Armed with my trusty 19 year old Nissan Micro (sadly now departed), my beautiful wife and a boot full of camping gear we drove the 415 mile journey to the…
So after the Excitement of the whale watching trip we traveled on further south to spend a couple of days in a quiet beach location, we were here to do nothing but to soak up the sun, swim in the sea and unwind and it was the perfect place for that. We spent two blissful…
Sri Lanka So it’s been a while since my last blog post despite having been on plenty of adventures that have been worthy of sharing. But back in February I was fortunate to go on a big eastern trip and visit Sri Lanka. Much like my last big trip it was planned to be a…

South East Asia… Part 4 : Banda Ache & Pulau Weh. The next part of our trip started with a flight to the northern tip of Sumatra and I got to do something I’ve never done; walk into an airport without a ticket and buy one on the spot! It was quite a bit cheaper than…
South East Asia… Part Three: Sumatra Continued – Tangkahan. After our time in Bukit Lawang with the orangutans we organised a driver to take us the 4 hour journey by 4×4 along the back roads of the palm plantations to Tangkahan. The beat up 30 year old Daihatsu that took us was crazy, the doors…

So after another long pause in my blog I finally decided to write some more. I Haven’t really been on a lot of long walks over the past few months, probably because I’ve been quite busy getting married and honeymooning. But just last week I went on a walk in mid Wales with the usual…

So, last weekend we finally went to the Lake District to climb Scafell Pike; that’s right the highest mountain in England.
