There was a reason for our early start, we were going out to Holy Island to visit Lindisfarne. It’s somewhere I have wanted to visit for a long time and wanted to make the most of it. We got there for about 7am and walked the distance from the car park to the National Trust…

Northumberland… (Part 1)
It was important for me this year for us to go on a holiday. It’s not something we have really done before (apart from a long weekend in Centre Parcs) but I wanted us to spend some time together and have a lot of fun so we booked Haven at Berwick-Upon-Tweed. We used to go…
Wasdale and reduced camping…
Easter half term arrived and I had come up with a brilliant plan. We’re going to Berwick-Upon-Tweed next week but I fancied doing something else so we booked to go camping for 2 nights in Wasdale. I’d never been before but had heard about it’s brutal beauty and figured it can’t be that cold at…
High (and low) Dam…
Inspiration and got out. Inspiration comes from the strangest places. The inspiration to visit High Dam came from a customer in the bakery my Mum works in. There is an elderly chap who visits the Lake District regularly with his wife and has done for many years. Over the weeks and months that my Mum…
A quick trip along the canal…
Unfortunately our long walks don’t happen as often as we’d like. Life gets in the way with birthday parties, family visits, shopping and jobs around the house, so we take advantage of an hour here or an hour there and try to use that time to get outside for a quick walk or play and…
Priory Woods…
Conishead Priory is in Ulverston. Within the grounds of the Priory are some stunning woods leading down to the beach overlooking Morecambe Bay and across to Lancashire, and a Buddhist Temple. Parking is free and the Priory has granted access to the woods and beach to the general public. It’s a very peaceful place with…
A wander around Tarn Hows…
Where do you go when you fancy an easy walk that will entertain both the kids and the adults? Well, Tarn Hows is a good option. Managed by the National Trust, there is a car parking charge, toilets and even a van selling drinks. The walking route is a circular one around the tarn with…
Icy beaches and snowy mountains…
This beach may just have the best views of the whole of the UK coast
Micro Adventure to Consiton
After a quick, chilly trip to Sizergh Castle, we headed over to Coniston for a wander and a stone throw. It was freezing but also lovely and quiet. We parked in our usual spot and walked the short distance to the waters edge. Straight away the kids were off to look for the best stones…
SNOW!!!
SNOW!!! We built a giant snowman, made snow angels and had a snowball fight…
New years day walk: Devoke Water
Eventually we made it back safely, but it was definitely not the peaceful walk we were hoping for.
Like I said things don’t always go according the plan…
Tarn Hows…
We stripped their snow suits off and enjoyed the journey back home in their underwear with blankets wrapped around them…
