Campsite Cooking 2
Undoubtedly, one of the main attractions of camping is the simplicity of the whole experience. However, we seem to have acquired an awful lot of gear lately, so our aim this year is to get back to basics and to
Campsite Cooking 1
When we started camping (just last year!) we had a few culinary mishaps before we found a winning formula. This year, on our first trip back in March, we finally felt like we’d cracked it. The key is to keep things
Review: Biolite Stove
Being a romantic couple, me and Luke decided to treat ourselves to a Biolite stove and grill as a joint Christmas present. If I’m honest, although I loved the idea, it was an extravagant purchase (altogether set us back about £180) and
Harlestone Firs-April 2014
I love Harlestone Firs. I’ve loved it since my Grandparents took me there as a kid. I loved riding there during my ‘horsy phase’. Now I love popping there for a walk whenever my busy schedule allows. This afternoon I

Following our theme of finding walks that offer photographic opportunities for Luke and his ever present camera, last Sunday we trundled along to Kelmarsh tunnel in North Northants. I was also conscious of the atrocious weather we’ve had lately, so
Lyveden New Bield, Northants
Since Luke has got his new camera, I’m suddenly under a lot more pressure to seek out walks that are especially picturesque. Now if we lived in an AONB or a national park that would be a breeze. Northampton is
Northants Walk: Badby & Fawsley 11/01/14
We’re currently planning a very exciting 10 day camping holiday taking in The Lakes, the Highlands and the Yorkshire Dales. Of course there will be plenty of walking involved, including the not inconsequential Helvellyn and Ben Nevis. With this in
