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…
It’s More Fun With A Friend!
Sorry Anne! Today’s running adventure was with a good friend. Chatting about my blog, Anne asked me what I my writing topic would be today. “Nature” I said, “I’ve seen a lot of wildlife on runs and rides this week.” Anne joked that I could write about our run and some of the things we talked about. Sorry…

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 – Ice Climbing
Kinlochlevin, October 2010 – Indoor Ice Climbing Back in 2010 a group of us went to Scotland to walk the West Highland Way. Starting in Milngavie, the route takes you 96 miles, across beautiful landscapes, to its finish at Fort William. We had a fantastic, if sometimes testing, week. Along the way, we spent a…
A Marathon With Sharp Teeth And Soft Fur
I had never officially run a marathon before Saturday. Having completed my first ultra in July, I was itching for another challenge to take me toward the end of the year. So when my uncle, David, suggested one of his favourites; the Beachy Head , my interest was piqued. The Beachy Head Marathon The marathon has been…
