How To Take Time To Slow Your Mind
After a busy weekend last week I decided to take it steady this time. That doesn’t mean doing nothing though; just taking time to slow my mind. Walking Brew takes up a lot of my time but is always enjoyable. He loves to meet all the other local dogs and bounce over enthusiastically at them…
Beachy Head Marathon – Healing A Break
This post was going to be purely about the Beachy Head Marathon. As I sat down to write it I realised it needed to be about something more. It needed to be about strength and weakness. Realising your strengths and accepting your weaknesses. When I took a fall just a few weeks before the marathon…
Radcliffe on Trent to Shelford: A Thoughtful Walk
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…

Meet Brew; The Adventure Dog!
I come from a family who go one stage further than animal lovers; we are complete animal sops! Aside from Ruddles, our first family dog, all our dogs and cats have been rescues or rehomes. There was Jess, the severely epileptic, Jack Russell cross, who my sister found wandering in our village. My Dad strongly declared “We…
Hash Running with the Hash House Harriers
Hash Running; sounds a bit suspicious doesn’t it?! What if I told you we also follow a trail of white powder, have strange nicknames and rely on a Religious Adviser to control the weather! Truly Hash Running isn’t as suspicious as it sounds; it is a little different though. Hash Running: How Did That Start? Back in 1938…
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…
