New start
Not really sure what happened last year. I just stopped blogging my time outdoors went down in the end to short walks with my dogs. It was only after my daughter started to miss Uni life and asked me to take her outdoors for the day the penny dropped that over the winter I had really stopped getting out. Pines trees in the dunes So off to Ainsdale beach we went in the bracing January wind to…

Royal British Legion Poppy Run
Raising funds for the RBL Having become a bit of a hibernating bear in November and December I decided I needed a challenge to get me off the couch and outdoors. So I signed up to raise funds for the Royal British Legion to support members and ex-members of our armed forces by “running” 50 miles in January. Not sure how much running I will do with two dodgy knees and a bad hip. But I am…

Off-road Escape
Not my typical escape to the outdoors but a few weeks ago I was invited to test drive the Ineos Grenadier in the Lake District. Yes I know it’s a huge 4×4 and not the best for the environment. But as a life long fan of Land Rovers how could I resist. Especially as Land Rover no longer build proper off road utility vehicles. So on dry frosty day we set off to Greystoke on the side of Lake…

Chilling on the Beach
After a busy few weeks there is nothing better than a stroll along a an empty beach. Traeth Bychan So it’s back to Anglesey for the weekend and chill out time with our dogs on the beach. I love the light out here in the autumn. Everything seems softer in the sun and the autumn colours are just starting to come out.

Foraging with my dogs
Having been away so much from home recently I had not got round to stocking up with autumn hedgerow goodies. The blackberries had gone to seed, although if we are lucky a second crop will come through and are starting to ripen. So I went looking for sloes. When the sloe berries appeared earlier in the year most of them died off. Thankfully a second crop has come through. So whilst not as many…

Mead experiment part two
So came back from holiday and my mead had stopped bubbling. With some trepidation I started to decant it. Homemade blackberry mead Wow it tastes fantastic. The blackberry flavour comes through with an after taste of alcohol. Unlike some meads I have tried that can be sickly sweet it’s just right. Everyone in the house and neighbour have sampled it and they all think it’s really good. It will…

Chilling in the Sun
After a wet cold July and August it’s September and the sun is out. Before she returns to Uni my daughter and I went paddle boarding at Delamere in Cheshire. The setup at Wild Shore is pretty impressive with changing rooms, water park, wake boarding and a large expanse of peaceful lake to paddle board on. The water quality was reported as good but there was a lot of algae in the water. Which…

The Power of Music
Been one of those weeks. Went away on holiday for two weeks, was not as relaxing as I hoped. Arrived back in work feeling stressed and had a manic couple hours of days trying to catch up. Then I stumbled across the Def Leppard Drastic Symphonies Album. Drastic Symphonies Was never a huge fan of Def Leppard. They had a few tracks I liked but never really followed them. Now sat here doing…

Blackberry Mead
So whilst the rest of the northern hemisphere swelters in heatwaves in northern England its not stopped raining through July and into August. It’s more like the back end of autumn going into winter. On the plus side the blackberry bushes are loving it and blackberry’s are already ready to harvest. So one morning whilst out with my dogs I went foraging and came home with a bag of lovely tangy…

Yr Wyddfa
Having a quiet weekend chilling out and whilst I was sorting out photos I came across this one of Yr Wyddfa also know as Snowdon that I took earlier in the year. Yr Wyddfa We were driving along a mountain road and as we came around a corner this beautiful vista of the mountains opened up in front of us. This is the less popular side of Yr Wyddfa which you can ascend via either the Snowdon…

Newborough Warren Anglesey
One our favourite places on #Anglesey is Newborough Warren for its woodland walks, huge area of sand dunes and long gently sloping beach. The wildlife includes red squirrels, cross bills and an estimated 2000 ravens that come home to roost avert night in the woodland. This walk follows the beach as far as as the little island of Ynys Llanddwyn. Even when the beach is busy it’s so huge it’s…

Escape to Arran 8 Waterfalls and Giants Graves
Another adventure from the Isle of Arran
After parking by the sea we headed up Glenashdale. The walk meanders alongside the river, through the cool of the forest before a steeper climb up to the waterfall. #isleofarran #scotland #adventure One of the things the local woodland is noted for is its ferns. They even grown up in the trees. In victorian days collectors used to visit this remnant of the ancient Atlantic Rainforest. Click on…

Winter Wonderland
Click on the image to download the map and gps file We woke up yesterday to snow. Where we live it does not stay for very long. So it was up, out, dogs in the car and lets have some fun. We headed up to Belmont, a small village below Winter Hill. True to its name winter really had come to the bill. Our original plan was to park up by Hordern Stoops and follow the path over Spitlers Edge and…

Another beautiful day on Arran so we decided to go and find Kings Caves located between Blackwaterfoot and Tormore on the west coast of Arran. #isleofarran #scotland #adventure This is one of several Scottish caves that lay claim to being the one where Robert the Bruce watched a spider try and try again to build its web on the wall of the cave. Setting off from the car park we nearly took the…
