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
Camping in the Cotswolds (part 2)
We were happy with the campsite (see part 1) and delighted with all of our new gear (I’ll do a few reviews in later posts) so all that was left was to head out and enjoy some of the gorgeous
Review: Cotswold Farm Park Campsite

Mount Pleasant farm and Greyfriars monastery walk – National Trust
This is the route we loosely followed, described much more succinctly than I ever could! Also with route map and all details. As I said we only did a couple of miles of this, we cut across the bridleway and
Escape to the Coast (Part 2)
This is not my usual description of a walk. We only walked a couple of miles and followed an abbreviated version of the National Trust’s suggested route-which I’ll provide a link to. This blog entry is simply an excuse to
Escape to the Coast (Part 1)
