Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
As was now customary on this holiday, I headed out first thing in the morning for an early morning walk to find some geocaches. This time I headed in a different direction along the network of Cycle Paths and found a nice little nature reserve to stroll through. I found a geocache as well, but...
I can’t believe it’s Friday already, we may have packed a lot into our holiday so far, but there was still so much to do. Today started with an early morning walk for me where I found three geocaches and as usual returned with croissants for breakfast for Anna and Morgan. We then headed off...
Wednesday morning dawned bright and sunny once again we had no sleep as the room was so hot. I therefore went out for an early morning walk into the reeds of the Lodmor Country Park as the sun rose. I returned with croissants for breakfast for Anna and Morgan. We complained about the ridiculous heat...
After a weekend at my parents house for Easter we spent most of Easter Monday heading south towards Dorset. Cerne Abbas Giant We took quite a random route to get there and stopped off at Cerne Abbas to take a look at the giant there which Morgan found quite amusing. We had a nice picnic...

Another early start so that we could get on the road and not have to rush was rewarded by some amazing views through Glencoe with the low morning sun lighting the mountains. We set off from the Youth Hostel is Crianlarich at around 6:30am after a quick coffee and made our way towards Fort William....
Holiday time!!! if you can call cycling the length of Britain from John O’Groats to Lands End a ‘holiday’.. Or driving it for that matter as that’s what Anna will be doing acting as support crew along with Morgan. Before we could do that though we had the small matter of driving North to John...
With my trip to Kitzbuhel and the Austrian Alps coming to an end I thought I should do at least one sightseeing tour in order to take in some of the scenery outside of Kitzbuhel. The weather forecast for today wasn’t great either so I thought if I was out and about, even if on...
Day 5 of my trip to Kitzbuhel and with my bike in transit back to Wales I’d have to rely on my feet for entertainment and transport today. I was up early, 3am to be exact so went for a nice early morning run at around 5am. Running Kitzbuhel There are loads of really well-marked...
