Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
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...
I had another quick pop into the hills yesterday to try out some kit. It was only a short walk/run and not far from home. Having looked down on the Dyfi Valley from Tarren Hendre on Monday, I was again looking down on it, this time from the opposite side whilst on top of Foel...
I thought I’d go for a slightly longer run today. It was a quiet day with a light breeze and cloudy skies so I decided to stay close to home and just do laps of the dunes. The lap around the top portion of the dunes is exactly 1 mile long. It goes up over...
Seeing as we hadn’t long got back from Norway, we had a fairly quiet weekend. Saturday I’d brought home a little bit of lurgy with me anyway so had been taking things easy as far as exercise is concerned. There was lots of wind forecast though so Steve was coming to the coast for the...

I think you’ll agree with me that it’s better in the buff? So, with that in mind this article is all about doing it in the buff! What’s more, just for your entertainment you I shall illustrate it with plenty of photos of me (a grey, slightly overweight, middle-aged man) in the buff as well....
I don’t know where that came from, but I had a fairly fast run around the Boat Yard Loop on Sunday morning. Not fast in anyone else’s books or fast by my previous standards, but fairly fast in post-heart attack times. I wasn’t planning on going fast and was feeling a little stiff from my...
