I love a good pair of sandals or flip flops and if I find a comfy pair which don’t rub I will wear them into the ground. When The Board Basement asked if I would like to review a pair of Reef Miss J-Bay flip flops for them I was super keen. My only concern…

Mini Adventure – Alpkit Big Shakeout Trail Run
The Alpkit Big Shakeout Festival This weekend I am at the Alpkit Big Shakeout Festival. A packed weekend of outdoor activities, films, speakers and general fun times! I’m not big on camping but am happy to endure the damp etc for fun times with friends. Having been reasonably sensible on the beer last night a…
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…
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…
Running Motivation Needed!

Lately however I am struggling to find my run motivation. Constant injury niggles have left me reluctant to head out. Knowing that it might hurt while…
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…
Confidence – Don’t Put Yourself Down
Confidence; it’s something many of us lack in one way or another. Confidence in our abilities, our looks, our choices. It is often said that if you do not feel confident you should just fake it. Head up, shoulders back, smile plastered across your face; step into the room. With social media being the force it…
Chilly Morning Run
It’s not often I can persuade myself to go on an early morning run in the winter. I know I will always feel better for doing it. But when the alarm goes off and the sky is still inky, the snooze button is too easy to hit. Today I made it though! Throwing myself out of my…
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…
