Hello To An Adventurous 2017!
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

A Weekend of Adventure In Lymington
Take One Adventurous Girl… A weekend away in Lymington seemed like the perfect pre-Christmas idea.

For this adventurous girl a weekend break…

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 –…
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….
