Going for a walk. It’s something we Brits love to do. For some it’s their regular exercise, for others it’s the Sunday stroll with the family after a big meal, or a New Years Day amble to ward off that hangover. Some choose to walk to work and others travel the world finding the best…

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…
Seeing The Wood For The Trees
You are slipping Lambert. You are not being everything you can be. You are not pushing, you are coasting. You’re allowed to do that for a while but time is up now. You need to push harder, reach further and achieve goals which make you feel good. You need to commit. Be strong. Dig deep…
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…
National Go Canoeing Week – A New Type of Challenge
National Go Canoeing Week takes place every May; encouraging people of all ages and abilities to get out on the water. I work for the Go Canoeing team at British Canoeing, so it would have been remiss of me to not jump in a boat. I didn’t want to just go out for a gentle…
Non Runners Running Group Is Born!
Today saw the first outing of the new Non Runners Group in Nottingham! Despite the icy weather seven hardy souls joined me at Holme Pierrepont to form a new kind of running group; one where you don’t have to run! I am not a running coach or a personal trainer but I do love to…
Non-Runners – A No Pressure Running Group
Next Thursday (12th January) join the new Non-Runners Group at the National Water Sports Centre, Holme Pierrepont. We all know we should exercise but there are often so many mental and physical obstacles which stop us. All sorts of worries can play on our minds: Can I do it? Will people laugh at me? What if I…
Sherwood Pines: A Run In The Woods
If you go down to the woods today… It was never going to be easy; heading out on my first decent run since being ill. So, I figured the best thing to do was to run some where pretty! Sherwood Pines is a Forestry Commission run area right in the heart of Sherwood Forest –…
Early Morning Running
Yesterday morning I got up early for a run around the city centre. So lovely to be in Nottingham as it was still stirring and rubbing its bleary eyes! #anadventureaday #anadventurousgirl #running #fitness #6amclub #sport #happy #Nottingham #lovenotts #canal #daybreak #lights #water #getoutside #enjoylife #winter
A Helping Hand
Having had a day off the exercise yesterday (yes, we all need them) I was back out running this afternoon. I had been thinking of going for a swim but then the sun started to shine and I couldn’t resist getting outside. It turned out the sun was being a little trickster as it disappeared…
