for curious minds and wandering feet wherever they may be
Some of you might remember that I did some work with Go Outdoors earlier in the year for the opening of the amazing new Preston Store. Which resulted in me getting the Kathmandu Transfer Pack (featured in May’s Currently Loving Post). I know many of you have been eagerly awaiting (read: badgering me for) the review…
Oh my goodness, where is the year going? It only feels like last week that I was bundling my stuff into my bag to head down to Cheltenham to do some outside activities for the Get Outside Day Challenge with Splodz and Katyish. Apparently, from my calendar, *cough, cough* two months ago. Erm, that went…
There isn’t much which makes me feel old (ish) but when I realised that this year celebrates 25 years of Weird Fish, I did feel a little bit old. I remember when I fist saw the Weird Fish Macaroni sweater. Loads of the cool girls in my school had one and I was desperate to…
I don’t really seem to have posted a great deal of bloggy type posts on here at all, so when I spotted the A to Z of me over on my friend Splodz’s blog, I thought I would give it a go. And why not, I’m always up for trying something new. So here we…
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…
So you might be starting to notice a theme in my posts this week – lots of video if you’ve missed it. I think that it is a fun way to show you the parks and places to visit without wasting the time that you could be out there exploring! So with that in mind,…
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…
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…
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…
We all know what it is like to plan some great outdoor fun when all of the a sudden the weather turns and it looks like things are going to be more wash out than sun bathed. And this is why I have decided to create this post to share with you these free things to…
Settling down at my desk the other day to get on with work when I took a brief distraction to check my Instagram. And good thing I did, my friend on there, Jon, had sent me information about an open day at the Greater Manchester Police Museum. The Greater Manchester Police Museum has been on…
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…
If you read my last post about Chirk Castle and Parkland, you will know that in addition to the National trust property we also explored Offa’s Dyke Path and Chirk Castle Countryside. So much so, that I had to do a separate post so that I could share it all with you! It is all part…
During the Christmas holidays we took advantage of being so close to Wales by visiting Coed Llandegla Forest for some walking in the trees. There are three walking routes as well as mountain bike tracks so there is plenty to see and do there. We only had time for a short wander as we arrived…
