for curious minds and wandering feet wherever they may be
However much we would all love to go on an adventure every weekend, it isn’t always possible. Sometimes you have to adult and do house stuff, which is what we are doing now. However, you can do them both with a little bit of planning. Like making the most of an afternoon in Knaresborough while…
As you will more than likely know by now, I believe that adventure happens wherever you are. So when I had the opportunity to go for some adventures on your doorstep in Keswick by teaming up with Tenderstem® and Thwaites Brewery, I jumped at the chance. They had me at the walk, and then there was…
As the autumn begins to roll in, it is time to start sorting your winter gear. For me this means getting everything waterproofed and ready for the Manchester rain. A lot of people have been asking about the reproofing process so here’s How to Reproof your coat with Nikwax. Although our coats are only around…
We were taking annual leave last week so the weekly vlog was mahoosive with adventures and walks. So I have broken it down into parts so as not to bore you completely! In this week’s vlog, we headed over to Wales for a walk at Erddig, made our way up the Great Orme in Llandudno…

Last weekend we went out hunting snow in Littleborough. We had been predicted a good covering of snow, but only got a bit of a spattering. Having been looking forward to taking our daily wanders in the snow we decided to go hunting for snow in Littleborough instead as it is higher ground and usually…
Yesterday we didn’t have chance to walk our usual after work walk so took a quick wander around Clayton Vale instead. I had been out at Quarry Bank Mill meeting up with my parents for a catch up before they head away on their holidays. Leaving at rush hour meant that I didn’t have enough…
As you might very well be aware by now, I love spending my time on the canals. So when the opportunity came up to ride a waterbike along the Bridgewater Canal, I was on it! Literally! The Waterbike Collective It is not every day that you get to ride a Schiller waterbike. I found out about…
If you have visited Dunham Massey, you will know how lovely it is around there. However, what you might not know is how nice it is outside of the grounds of the National Trust property. If you are yet to visit, I urge you to make the time to explore outside too. Villages and canals…

Last week I headed up the country to walk the Blackpool Northern Rail Trail. OK, so that doesn’t mean much, so let me explain what it is. I have recently been doing some work with Northern (rail company). We are showcasing the great places in the north that you can get to by train and…
While taking to a friend of mine in the early part of this year, he suggested a visit to Hull. He told me that “it is never dull in Hull” so after a minute on my phone booking train tickets, it was on. New to me To be totally honest, I knew very little about…
A couple of weeks ago, (ahem months…) it was the Outdoor Bloggers camping weekend up near Dalby Forest. After attending the one in Croston last March, I looked forward to the next one ever since. Even the torrential rain couldn’t stop us from having an amazing time! You would think that after a weekend of…
When you take a day trip to the Forest of Bowland by public transport because you find out how easy it is! We’ve been wanting to visit the Forest of Bowland for ages, but for one reason or another it kept slipping the list. However, I found out from my friends at Northern that there…
One of my favourite things to do is to visit places near to home. The misty views at Werneth Low Country Park was a real highlight of the weekend. We were expecting some snow, some ice and more than likely a lot of mud, but mist… Mist we didn’t expect at all. The drive through…
I grew up on the Wirral and went to College in Chester so I have seen it change and grow. The other week when we had a bit of time to spare, we decided to head down for an afternoon to Chester to walk the walls, explore the Rows and wander down the Dee. As it…
Out National Trust membership comes in so handy and we love having the choice of so many amazing places to visit around the UK without having to shell out any more money – it makes for a cheap day out, especially with picnic in hand. As part of our North Wales tour, we headed to…
Every so often, we like to take a nearly two hour drive to go for lunch at our favourite chippy (it does vegan battered sausage!!) in Llandudno and to make the trip just that little bit more worth while, we like to get a hike in there too. And a bit of urban wandering, of…
As part of our altered holiday plans I got clicking around Pinterest for things nearby. I found the most stunning canal bridge and then to my surprise, found that it was the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct in Llangollen. Llangollen is a mere 35 minutes from my parents’ house so a perfect place to visit on a mini…
