In mid september we went to Yorkshire Dales to see Malham Cove thanks to Couplands Outfit and Supply for pointing it out on their Instagram. The main incentive to go here was to see Malham Cove where Harry, Ron & Hermione camped in A Deathly Hallows Part One but... I was completely amazed by Garsdale Scar.

As part of the walk we had scramble up the waterfall right in the middle of the ravine. When we reached the top I couldn't help but stand and look at all the surroundings. I've also uploaded a small video that will be in my next post.

This was an amazing experience and I think its started a new love for incorporating some scrambling into the walks I go on from now on.

Last month we went to the lake district wild camping and boating in near Grasmere. T'was so good!!

London Part 3

After trying to go to Borough Market we went for some cocktails then went back to Males's house where Lauren made homemade jerk chicken, mac & cheese pie, polenta and rice and peas. This meal gave me a new found love for Caribbean food!!

London Part 2

We walked down to the Borough Market but unfortunately it was closed, I definitely want to go here next time we're in London. We did however find some amazing gelato at Gelateria 3BIS, I had Nutella and pistachio. T'was good!!

Last month we went to London to visit some friends who have recently moved there. Here's Part 1 - Dim Sum at the Dragon Castle. This was my first time at a Dim Sum restaurant and I highly recommend going to one and if you can, go to this one!
