How to Complete the National 3 Peaks Challenge in 24 Hours
As I type this, it’s a week on from our National 3 Peaks Challenge. This time last week we were en route from Ben Nevis to Scafell Pike in Bumper. The National Three Peaks Challenge was harder than I expected and I think I’m still feeling some of the effects from it…or it could just be work, who knows! Ha! I did the National Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for Kirkwood Hospice. To find out more about the challenge, read on!

A 24 Hour Snowdonia Road Trip
Spontaneous trips are always the best, right? Well, it was semi-spontaneous! We had planned to go to Snowdonia National Park to walk Snowdon (or ‘Yr Wyddfa’ for our Welsh-speaking friends). This was the first of the Three Peaks we want to walk. The others being Ben Nevis in Scotland and Scafell Pike in England. And what an adventure it was!
The Beautiful B3306 Road Trip Cornwall
I read about this great little road trip on the north Cornish coast here and thought we’d give it a go. We lived in Plymouth at the time so it wasn’t not too far away to go for a quick weekend away. Stacey is from Cornwall but has never driven the road before. I’d go as far to say she’s seen more of Cornwall since we’ve been together than during her entire existence before we met.
An Awesome Scotland Road Trip Part 2
A Scotland road trip Part 2! Welcome to part two of our Scottish road trip. Read to the bottom to find out how many miles we drove, how far we walked and how much we spent. We mentioned the blistering temperatures when we walked up Ben Nevis. Undoubtedly, we had the best of the weather on our Scotland road trip, with nothing but sun and warmth. Apart from at the top of Ben Nevis, of course.
An Epic Road Trip to Scotland
A road trip to Scotland to the Argyll Coast! We finally made it! Tartan, whisky, highland coos (cows to the rest of us), castles and lochs…what could be more Scottish? This is the Argyll Coast, Scotland’s secret coast, and it’s full of everything Scottish.
A Weekend at Autograss Racing – An Outsider’s View
Have you ever been Autograss Racing? No? Nor us. Life is all about new experiences, right? I (Joel) have a philosophy of “don’t knock it until you’ve tried it”. You don’t really know what something is like until you’ve tried it, like fishing. Fishing looked boring, but I couldn’t categorically say it was boring until I tried it. Trying it confirmed it was boring. Sorry, fishing fans! Ha! Anyway, we went to an Autograss racing weekend…
Athens
Athens…We travelled during the Covid-19 pandemic. Was it doomed from the start? We think not, and we took the risk of travel corridors being shut while we were overseas. It’s been a long time since we jumped on a plane. We returned from Lisbon on the 3rd January and haven’t been on a plane since…until now.
New Year in Lisbon Portugal
We had New Year in Lisbon but before I talk about Lisbon, let me tell you a little story….
Camping Near Bradford-on-Avon
Camping near Bradford-on-Avon on our first camping trip now the COVID-19 lockdown routines have started to ease. The trip was overdue, incredibly welcome and was dual purpose – to camp and to celebrate our friend’s 40th birthday. We booked the campsite ages ago in the hope it would be open.
