A few weeks ago Ash & I went for a long weekend camping in the Brecon Beacons. We stayed at a lovely site called Priory Mill Farm, just outside of Brecon. It was nice and quiet when we arrived on … Continue reading

3 Peaks for 3 Charities
So one night before Christmas I was sat in the pub with a group of my closest friends and I started the discussion of “what shall I do before I turn 30”. Ash and I have always wanted to walk … Continue reading
Husky ride in Finland
A husky ride was on the wish list for our week in Finland. I’ll be honest though, I was a little dubious… I had visions of some poorly kept dogs, been whipped and forced to run beyond exhaustion for the … Continue reading
A weekend of running & walking Cadir Idris
At the start of October we headed to a tiny cottage near Machynlleth, perched up on a hill with nothing but sheep around us and a gorgeous view. That’s right… we escaped from the farm to go and stay on … Continue reading
Why volunteer
I’ve been volunteering as Beaver Scout Leader for my local Scout Group for nearly 10 years now, but I don’t see myself as a volunteer, I just see it as something I do. My hobby. You should enjoy your volunteering … Continue reading
Winter on the farm
I have mixed opinions about winter… I love the snow, but then when it’s wet and muddy I do get fed up of it. Walking the dogs in cold, dark mornings and evenings and washing them off every single time … Continue reading
Zebby goes camping
Due to calving and other commitments Ash and I had one chance to get away and go camping this summer, so despite having a young puppy we thought we may as well get him used to it now and get … Continue reading
How do you spend your holiday?
In the past holidays for me have always been about exploring new places. Family holidays involved getting up and out by 10am and spending the whole day out, and I carried on that ethos into my holidays, camping trips and … Continue reading
Spring on the Farm
When I first moved here in December I mentioned how excited I was to see the farm change in the seasons, well I’ve certainly not been disappointed! Spring has brought a wash of colour, activity and life. Gradually the trees … Continue reading
Osprey Tempest 20
OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS BAG! There’s my review… no need to write any more right?! At the start of summer this year I found myself stood in GoOutdoors perusing the backpacks, searching for a decent, comfy day pack. … Continue reading
Walking Snowdon
A friend of mine has never walked Snowdon and as she was home from Australia for a few months we found a weekend free and off we went. I’ve walked Snowdon twice before, using the Llanberis path both times. The first … Continue reading
Featured Walk: Llangoed to Puffin Island and Aberlleiniog Castle
Before you start reading this let me just warn you that this is not a detailed step by step walk guide. It’s a vague description of the walk we took with lots of photographs, so unlikely that you’ll be able … Continue reading
Holiday Cottage Review: Didfa in Llangoed
For our family holiday in Anglesey this year we found a cottage next to the little village of Llangoed, near to Beaumaris in the bottom right corner of Anglesey. Pets go free and access to a 1/2 acre paddock… it sounded … Continue reading
Blowing the cobwebs away
I’ve just come home from a lovely week away in Anglesey. It’s been such a nice break, with lots of walks along the coastal path, paddling in the sea, lazy morning in bed and relaxing evenings watching the sunset. We’ve walked … Continue reading
Dog-friendly holiday cottage: Dolphin Bach
Ash and I decided to get away for a few days during Easter Weekend and went searching online for some last minute holiday cottages. We found Dolphin Bach advertised here, a tiny little bungalow in a little village called Dolphin near to Mold, North … Continue reading
Featured Walk: Graig Fawr
While on holiday in Wales during Easter Weekend Ash, Guinness and I stumbled across this National Trust site with a little car park and numerous footpaths circling around and leading up a small hill. Graig Fawr sits alongside the little village … Continue reading
Spring is in the air!
This afternoon I was actually sat outside in the sunshine and relatively warm (in a hoodie and combat trousers I might add). It’s good to get some vitamin D! I’ve not had my camera out much recently so it was … Continue reading
Ystwyth riverside walk from Black Covert car park
After our walk around Devils Bridge and then the Arch we went in search for a final stroll to finish off the afternoon. We followed a road that ran parallel to the River Ystwyth and found another Natural Resources Wales … Continue reading
Featured Walk: Panorama trail from the arch
After our quick adventure around Devils Bridge we headed to a spot on the map labelled The Arch. Just the other side of the arch is a small Natural Resources Wales car park with a notice board, picnic bench and … Continue reading
A dog-friendly holiday cottage in Aberystwyth
As part of my series about our weekend in Aberystwyth I thought I’d provide you with a short review of the holiday cottage we used. Ash found and booked the cottage through this advert and all I had to do was … Continue reading
