It’s 6.45 am, on a cold autumn morning in Aviemore, Scotland. Snow is on the ground outside and most people at Glenmore Lodge, where I’m staying for the weekend, are still tucked up in bed. I am waiting in the lobby for two women, who I had only met the day before, to hike a…

New Adventures: Discovering Geocaching
I love it when I discover new outdoor adventures. So I am super happy to have stumbled across geocaching this week. I had heard of geocaching before and knew that it involved finding hidden objects but I had no idea how accessible it was. Having stumbled across the website last week I wanted to find…
Giving Something Back To Nottingham
As a blonde Essex girl with Welsh roots, I’m pretty much every joke in the book! I’m proud of all of my heritage but I also love the city in which I grew up. My parents moved from Essex to the countryside in Nottingham when I was two years old and I feel lucky to…

Everyday Exercise – It Doesn’t Have To Hurt!
Exercise is a scary word for many people. It conjures up thoughts of pain and strain. Of having to do things you really don’t want to do. The truth is that exercise doesn’t have to be about breathlessness and aching muscles. If you get into the habit of everyday exercise you won’t even know you’re…
A Restless Sportswoman
I am a very restless sportswoman at the moment. Having finally succumbed to the dreaded, change of season cold, I am unimpressed. Optimistic Start Whenever I first start to feel ill I convince myself that, if I rest for a day, it will go away. So, last Monday, when my throat was a little sore, I…
