Bikepacking Robin Hood Country

  • Journal

I was sent the link in the evening after work and I glanced at the route quickly. 137 miles with almost two-thirds off-road. It sounded like a dream. I was in. Ashley had been out riding his gravel bike and had sent messages about getting out on a ride together. We’d been chatting a while but never actually caught up with each other in person… Read More »Bikepacking Robin Hood Country

The Chippy Ride

‘Adventure’. The word conjures visions of mountains, epic vistas, and arduous travel. But not to me. To me, adventure is a feeling. It’s that sense of escaping and coming across something unexpected. It doesn’t have to be physically gruelling, or unimaginably beautiful. It just has to be an escape and a discovery. With this mindset shift, the scope for adventure opens up and finds me… Read More »The Chippy Ride

Walking Near Penrith: Lacy’s Caves, Long Meg & Her Daughters

  • Journal

Stone circles don’t come much better than Long Meg and her Daughters and, aside from Stonehenge, they don’t come any bigger in England. Throw in a folly known as Lacy’s Caves and this walk has a bit of everything without being too taxing at only 5.1 miles (8.2km). Start at Long Meg’s car park. As a Yorkshireman, I’m pleased to be able to say it’s… Read More »Walking Near Penrith: Lacy’s Caves, Long Meg & Her Daughters

Bikepacking from edinburgh to york

I needed a challenge. Something adventurous to do that would provide some physical difficulty and let me see new things. A friend – Scott – and I decided that we’d give Scotland a go. Our limited time meant that 8 days were up for grabs so Edinburgh to York seemed sensible. We thought it’d be somewhere between 5 and 7 in total, with a little… Read More »Bikepacking from edinburgh to york

Ticket To The Moon Hammock Review

  • Reviews

Hammock camping looks great, let’s not deny it. There’s no cooler picture than one with a hammock and bike resting on the same tree, a wild view of woodland reaching out into the distance. In the hammock lays a tired soul, but tired with contentedness having found the perfect spot to hang their bed for the night. Hammocks look great but everything I’d heard about… Read More »Ticket To The Moon Hammock Review

Using products to practice

I’m definitely trying to live more outdoors but there’s inevitably time when I can’t get outside. I’m often guilty of collecting plenty of photographs and videos and spacing them out over the following days and weeks. The insatiable beast that is social media demands regular and consistent content in order for your account to be seen by others. And, if the dream of living a… Read More »Using products to practice
