Hi Just to let everyone know we’re away on our next trip – currently in Lier in Belgium looking for a good beer, but soon escaping to Holland. Blog and details will be forthcoming as we continue the trip – watch this space! (Also this is a test message to…
Blimey! I know we like camping and adventures, but looks like we’re not the only ones! Almost 3,000 unique visitors in July – hopefully most found something interesting. Not bad either considering we’ve not had a major trip for 6 months! That said, as we write this, we’re filling the…
Well just come back from the Extreme Academy at Watergate Bay from my Kite Surfing lessons. So – did I look like this? Sadly not. Carl my instructor was a top bloke and did all he could, and alas even despite is hot air (not aimed at me most of…
Just a quick update before our next major trip starts next week. We’re currently having a watersports break which started with a couple of Wakeboarding sessions, one for the ladies at JBSki at Thorpe Park (for Mel obviously, though Ryan enjoyed the show! 🙂 ), then up to WMSki in the…

We don’t normally post anything about short UK trips as everyone tends to do them and we don’t normally have anything to add to peoples experience. However, we’ve just come back from 5 days in the Peak District and had a superb (though tiring!) time. As mentioned on a previous…
On our trips we’ve tried to find good wild-camping and hidden areas to stay in overnight and had some absolutley georgeous spots and some naughty ones…. We’ve found finding spots abroad a lot easier than in the UK. This I’ve just joined seem to havea good list (1600+ for POI…
Well it had to happen sooner or later, one of us has ended up at A&E. So which one of us is it? And what dangerous sport were we doing at the time? Bizzarely, its the one of us who takes the least risks, and doing something completely non dangerous! …
