for curious minds and wandering feet wherever they may be
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 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 are….
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…
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…
Those of you who have been around for a while know that I love nothing more than packing up some food and going out for a picnic. So when I realised that it was National Picnic Week (15th – 24th June) I had to write a post in honour! Here are some picnic food ideas…
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…
At the end of last year, our weekends had been a hodge-podge of sorting bits for Christmas as well as clearing things from the house. But making sure that we got our walking in was high on the agenda. The last weekend before Christmas, as well as walking to and from town on Saturday we went exploring…
Making up for our cancelled camping trip, our first place for exploring was Thursaston Common on the Wirral. You might remember that we were planing a camping trip to St David’s in South Wales. Unfortunately, my Mum became poorly with Pneumonia and has a stint in the hospital. Because of that we decided to stay…
We have done the Great Orme many times and decided to so the Little Orme, Llandudno, for a change of scene. If you’ve been following my blog, you will know that Jit and I have an absolutely crazy love for Llandudno for some reason. Nothing to do with our favourite chippy, honestly! We tend to…
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…
A few weeks ago for Jit’s Birthday I treated him to a weekend in Aberdaron. I have mentioned a few times on the blog about how we now like to go on trips for our birthdays rather than buying things that we don’t particularly need. (we do get some presents, but the quality time creating…
