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
Kelmarsh & Gt Oxendon Tunnels
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

Escape to the Coast (Part 1)
For our final outing of 2013, last weekend we headed to the Suffolk coast for a couple of days of fine food and ales and some good walks in the sea air. This was a little more relaxing than previous trips ,
Whichford-Hook Norton-Whichford 29/06/13
This is quite a tricky blog to write. Ordinarily I come back from a walking trip full of enthusiasm and desperate to share great walks. However, this walk, from last weekend’s Cotswold adventure, wasn’t a complete success. Having said that,
Everdon (NN11) 2nd June 2013
Sometimes we’re in such a rush to head off far away in search of beautiful landscapes that it’s easy to forget that we’ve got some beautiful walks on our doorstep. I’m as guilty of this as anyone, so one Sunday
