Adventures on two wheels
It’s mid December, I’m in the Lake District for the weekend and I’m getting increasingly excited as we round the corner towards Coniston and I see the snow covered mountains. The sky is bright blue and the air crisp as we put on our winter boots, check our bags and head off up the path to …
Standing on our lodge terrace in Aviemore with a cup of tea in hand, I look over toward the distant mountains, shrouded in a grey haze. After a day of non stop rain yesterday, I’m hopeful for a clearer day. I’m in Scotland with family and friends (my Mum and Aunty – Geordies, and their …
Its 4.38am and I’m sat dressed on my bed in my hotel room in Agra. It’s possibly the first time in a long while I’ve woken up and leapt out of bed in excitement this early in the morning, and not crawled out from under the warm sheets wondering what on earth I’ve got myself …
It may sound strange but I can smell autumn in the air! I’ve spent the last few days in the beautiful Lake District, it was particularly autumnal and I loved it! Bronze, gold and and teak coloured leaves lay scattered across the roads, the leaves still on the trees rapidly changing colour and ready to …
Last weekend I joined with over 700 other women and completed an 80km cycle around Cheshire for Macmillan Cancer support. Starting from the beautiful location of Tatton Park, it was a Women-only event, and it was a great atmosphere as soon as we entered the gates to the park. Hundreds of women were walking their …
It’s Sunday morning, and after a fairly restless night I drag myself up and out of the camper van (lovingly known as Miss Daisy) to stretch my legs. After a dull and cloudy day yesterday it was refreshing to slide open Miss Daisys’ door to a bright orange sun gently rising up above the distant …
Last week I spent a fantastic few days exploring the beautiful Cardiganshire area of Mid-South Wales. It’s surprising I’ve lived in Wales most of my life yet there are still so many places I’ve yet to discover. First stop was a tiny place called Mwnt. Weaving and winding through the coastal roads from North to …
I’m in Kerala, India, possibly the most fascinating country I’ve ever had the privilege to visit, and I’m about to experience an elephant ride for the first time ever! I’m very excited as our tuk tuk winds crazily up through narrow streets and dirt tracks to the elephant camp. It’s monsoon season, but it’s hot …
It was 4am, it was pitch black. I’m in the back of a tuk tuk with two 16 year olds, and it’s the first time in days I’ve felt a breeze in the my face as we cruise along the bumpy streets on our way to the train station. I feel a leap of …
Sometimes the simplest of things can turn into really exciting adventures. Today I went for a jog along the beach with a friend. I’ve lived by this beach most of my life but have never really appreciated its simple beauty, or the fact that if you jog far enough along from the car park there’s …
