Last weekend was definitely busy for runners, with lots of big races taking place across the country including the Royal Parks Half and Manchester Half Marathon to name just a couple. I opted to head across to Henley for the Maverick Oxfordshire Trail Race. Sitting in the car park with the torrential rain pouring down … More Maverick Oxfordshire Trail Race
Last month we headed to Centerparcs Woburn for a family holiday, which just happened to fall on the same weekend as the very first National GetOutside Day. An event organised by Ordnance Survey, GetOutside Day aims to encourage more people to get out of the house and explore the outdoors, and I have to say … More GetOutside Day at Centerparcs Woburn
Believe it or not, the Kew Gardens 10k was my first running race of 2018! I’ve mainly focused on cycling this year, and haven’t actually managed to fit in many events on my weekends due to being so busy. However, I was really excited about giving the Kew Gardens 10k a go – part of … More Kew Gardens 10k race recap
It seems to be a common theme at the moment that I’m writing blog posts about things that happened months ago! Working in events, the summer is a very busy time so my blogging has taken a little bit of a backseat. It’s also the case that the better weather means I’m out and about … More Active Holiday in the Peak District
This year was the third time that I’ve taken part in RideLondon-Surrey 100 and with the previous two years having been dry and sunny, I should have known that the weather was bound to throw us a curved ball this time around! Read my 2017 RideLondon recap here. Read my 2016 RideLondon recap here. Sure … More RideLondon 100 for the 3rd time
It’s been a few weeks since I was lucky enough to head to Sallanches in the French Alps with Decathlon, for a fantastic couple of days of hiking and exploring. The weather was just as gorgeous as it is now though, and the scenery was simply stunning! As someone who doesn’t ski, I’d never really … More Hiking in the French Alps with Quechua
Last weekend I took part in the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 bike ride – its the third year I’ve ridden the event, and each year I’ve had a different experience. I’ll have a proper blog post on the 2018 ride up soon, but for now I wanted to highlight a couple of the events I took … More Milton Keynes 50miler and Chiltern Cycling Festival
Summer is the perfect time to get outside and take on an adventure, especially with this gorgeous weather! I’ve been reading a couple of new books to get some inspiration, as well as enjoying a few exciting new kit items on our recent travels. Here’s a quick rundown of my current July favourites… Osprey Ultralight … More Adventure Kit I’m Loving – July
I’ve had this blog post in my Drafts for a few weeks now – the difficult thing about the summer, especially with the gorgeous sunshine we’re enjoying now, is that we end up being so busy actually DOING things, that I run out of time to write about them! Consequently I’m now sharing our May … More Camping on the Jurassic Coast
As camping fans, James and I have a few tents between us – maybe not as many as the number of bikes we own – but still a pretty comprehensive collection. From tiny two-mans to massive beasts that sleep a whole football team (well, maybe not) we have a tent for every occasion. Still, they … More Decathlon Inflatable Tent Review
