Kent and Avon Canal July 2018
In an attempt to revisit my childhood and torture my children with confined spaces with nothing to do, i booked us a week in a canal boat. Needless to say they were thrilled with being stuck in a long tin can, nowhere near civilisation with no wifi, TV on even a shower big enough for …

Snowdon August 2018
As we had already climbed Ben Nevis we thought we would undertake the arduous task of the 3 peaks challenge. (yes I know you are supposed to do it in 24 hours, but 2 years apart is not too bad). We stayed on a lovely camp site nestled in a valley, next to a beautiful …
