Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I didn’t get any sleep at the OMM camp overnight, but I knew that would be the case and it was no big deal. I was therefore quite happy with Mikes’s idea to see if we could start earlier than planned on Day 2 so as to finish earlier and not have too long a...
That was a fun weekend walking in the hills thanks to the 54th Original Mountain Marathon (OMM). After doing 53 of these things they should know what they are doing, and the organisation was amazing all the way through. As you know from my previous post, Lawrence, my original partner in crime for the OMM...
I finished my blog post about a walk in the Carneddau Hills with Rhys last Wednesday by saying: I can’t wait for the next adventure in the hills now. Summer is supposed to return for the weekend, so I’m half tempted to head back up to tick off a couple more of the Welsh 3000’s....
Rhys has just sent me some photos from our walk on Wednesday So, here’s a few more photos from the Carneddau.
I had a day’s annual leave on Wednesday so that Rhys and I could head into the hills of North Wales for a walk. It had been windy enough for windsurfing the day before and the wind showed no signs of easing today either, but that wasn’t about to stop us! Anna had taken a...
Having been out of action for a week or so thanks to a cold that went to my chest, I was dying to get out in the fresh air doing something exciting. I went for a short run on Sunday that was slow and quite a struggle but it didn’t set me back at all...
I know some of you (you know who you are!) will ridicule me for this, but I came across a cool website the other day called lighterpack.com. It’s not that clever really, as all it does is allow you to create a list of items and their weights and it works out how much your...
With a few bits of new kit and the OMM looming on the horizon, I decided to make the most of my Bank Holiday afternoon and head out into the hills. It wasn’t a particularly exciting day weather wise with grey skies, light winds and the possibility of drizzle on the hilltops. It was 1pm...
Rhys and I headed up to North Wales to scramble up Bryant’s Gulley earlier in the week. After 4 weeks of bone dry, sunny weather there was some rain the night before. Not loads but the guidebook starts by saying: The route is ideal on a warm spring or summer’s day after a prolonged period...
After an evening surf session at Ynyslas on Tuesday, it was back at work on Wednesday following our trip to the Isle of Man. Being back at work didn’t stop me having some fun though. Estuary Windsurfing I started the day with an early morning windsurf session in the estuary. Funnily enough, at 6:30am there...
