We arrive at The Roaches late one morning on a crisp and warm autumn day despite my satnav choosing an absurd route, all winding and impossibly narrow single track lanes. I’ve never been keen on the name. The Roaches conjures up the image of skittering bugs and certainly not a majestic ridge of gritstone crags,…
I love kayaking, though I normally take to the water on lochs and lakes and have only once, very briefly, ventured out on to the sea before. With the opportunity to spend 5 days in Cornwall over the August bank holiday weekend, I thought it would be the ideal chance to take a kayak out…

This is a rare personal post and one that isn’t particularly easy to write, but one I felt I needed to to enable me to make sense of the events that have happened over the last 2 weeks. Death is one of those subjects that’s difficult to talk about. We all fear it coming to…

When you’re in a long term relationship with someone who shares the same interests and hobbies, it’s easy to fall into the habit of doing everything together. It’s not that I dislike doing things together, rather from time to time I like to do my own thing. Partly to prove to myself that I am…
We were glamping in mid-Wales at Cledan Valley, near Carno and a bit of research prior to our stay revealed Hafren Forest and it’s many waterfalls to be close by. This was our first decent walk since I hurt my ankle so It was awesome to be back outdoors and exploring a new area. Whilst…
