Chasing the Tour of Britain

The Tour of Britain may not be on the same scale as the Tour de France but it still packs a sporting punch. There was no way I could miss seeing the peloton as it passed through the county where I live. On Wednesday the stage started in Newark, looping around the county before ending…

Solo Cycling Adventure Day 2: Hawkshead to Hawes

I cannot take your eyes where mine have been, nor make them see what I have seen. No number of pictures could capture just how wonderful my day has been. Believe me, I have tried. I stopped, stopped and stopped again to try to show in pictures just how beautiful the scenery has been. Some…

Solo Cycling Adventure Day 1: Penrith to Hawkshead

Bending over the handlebars, heaving in air, sweat, dribble and snot running down my face, I know why I am here! This is living, this is adventure.

Micro Adventure – Cycling Around Worcester

I went to Worcester for the first time yesterday. Well, that’s probably wrong. You see, whenever I say I haven’t been somewhere before my Mum usually comes back with “Yes you have. We took you there when you were in your pushchair.” Anyway, I went to Worcester for the first time I can remember yesterday!…

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…
