Well, 2017 has landed and it is time for new adventures! The year started off pretty well; with my birthday on New Years Day. It is always tricky to decide what to do for your birthday when you know that people are going to be a little jaded from New Years Eve. This time, as…

Some Good News To End The Year
Whoop Whoop! Good news doesn’t usually come when you expect it. Sit back and wait for it and you may be waiting a long time. So I was a very happy Adventurous Girl to hear that I had been chosen as one of Pearl Izumi’s Team Champions for 2017. Just to clear up any confusion,…
A Weekend of Adventure In Lymington
Take One Adventurous Girl… A weekend away in Lymington seemed like the perfect pre-Christmas idea. A chance to relax, away from the absolute need to be writing cards, wrapping presents etc. Lymington is a place I love and I wanted to take Jamie along to share it with him. For this adventurous girl a weekend break…
Kindness Starts With Being Kind To Yourself
Make Your Choice Kindness can be a smile, a small favour, a helping hand or even a silly joke to make someone laugh. It is surprisingly easy to be kind to others but harder to be kind to yourself. It’s been a bit of a rough week. Some bad news in the family has knocked…
Throw Back Thursday – Bouldering
Bouldering – Burbage, Peak District – August 2010 Climbing and bouldering has been a hobby of mine for about eight years now. I love the fact that it gives you a full body and brain work out. Heading to the climbing wall is great for your social life too. I made many new friends at the wall…

Sorry…
Sherwood Pines: A Run In The Woods

Throwback Thursday – Cycling Coast 2 Coast In A Day
Cycling the Coast 2 Coast In One Day – August 2014 Last week I posted on my old blog, Cadi2014, explaining why I had started this one. The two blogs are very different but they do cross over. The reason I started Cadi2014 was because I was grieving for a partner I lost to suicide….
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…
Throwback Thursday – Bosnia, Mountain Biking, 2012
Thinking back I have done a surprising amount of mountain biking for someone who is afraid to point a bike downwards on a rocky path. Pop me on a good downhill on a road bike and I will be distinctly disappointed if I don’t reach between 30-40mph. Do the same on a mountain bike and I prefer…
