Weekends, for me, are about getting outside and having an adventure. Adventures on your doorstep are great but sometimes you have to go that little bit further. This is a nine mile, circular walk, from Winster, in the Peak District. You can find a link to the route at the bottom of the page. I’ve…

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…
Walking In A Winter Wonderland
Walking is one of my favourite forms of exercise. As much as I love running and cycling, a really good walk can make you feel just as well exercised Walking also allows you to absorb more. Drink in the views, read information signs and stop (regularly!) to check you are on the right path. I felt that,…
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…

Everyday Exercise – It Doesn’t Have To Hurt!
Exercise is a scary word for many people. It conjures up thoughts of pain and strain. Of having to do things you really don’t want to do. The truth is that exercise doesn’t have to be about breathlessness and aching muscles. If you get into the habit of everyday exercise you won’t even know you’re…
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 Walk From Newark and Kelham
Having grown up between Newark and Nottingham I have an affection for both towns. Newark, though, retains a certain charm which Nottingham sadly lost along with many of its historic buildings. This Friday we took the train from Nottingham, out through the villages I grew up in and around, to Newark. We had found a walk on…
Throwback Thursday – An Adventure In Laos
Laos – October/November 2013 This week’s Throwback Thursday was an easy one when I realised that exactly three years ago today I was on an all action adventure in Laos! As part of a six week, action packed, holiday through a variety of Asian countries, I visited Laos for just a few days. Arriving in Vientiane…
Throw Back Thursday – Chamonix Via Ferrata
Chamonix, September 2011 – Girls Adventure Holiday I’m not very good at sitting still; beach holidays just don’t suit me anymore. So a girls activity week with Alpine Elements , back in 2011, seemed like the perfect idea. It was my first time in Chamonix and I was blown away. Green meadows rose gently to cooler pine forests…
