This weekend saw Time Out magazine’s Barcelona team host their fourth edition of the food festival. Fortunately this fell on a week we were visiting the city, so what better opportunity?! What is Time Out Fest? In all honesty, I hadn’t even heard of Time Out Fest until this week. Many people may already know the magazine, …

100 Mile Cycling Sportive | Ride London
Since buying a road bike back in 2018, I’ve toyed with the idea of planning and riding across the country. Whether it’s top to bottom, across, or even down into Europe. Multi-day cycling (or bike packing) is absolutely on my radar! Before I wheel out on a bigger adventure, the first hurdle I thought I’d …

Live American Sports | 2 Great Games, 2 Great Venues
Earlier this year I went out to America for a few weeks with work. It was my first time over there for a prolonged period (other than holidays) so I tried to make the most of my downtime. Before we even went out we pencilled in the matches we could get to watch around New …

First 2023 Dive

Three Peaks Training | Peak District
I can’t believe it’s already been 4 months since our first targeted Three Peaks training walk. In such a short space of time, we’ve gone from howling wintery conditions to what can only be described as a pleasant spring. These past few months our focus for training has been to increase the amount we’re walking. …

Creating a Diving Workup Plan
As I begin planning my dives for the year, I’ve been putting together my own dive workup plan. Although I’m qualified to dive down to 50m (which was an experience in itself back in 2020…) I wouldn’t dream of jumping straight into the water and hit those depths. I wouldn’t even think to go twinset …

My Diving in 2023
It’s been a while since I’ve been diving, and a while since I’ve put out a diving blog post. This year I’m really looking to focus on my own personal diving. I spent most of my time in the water last year working towards becoming an instructor. I finished this training in June. Then I …

Three Peaks Training | Pen y Fan
I’ve been to the Brecon Beacons quite a few times, especially growing up in Bristol. I’ve been with my family mostly and most recently with my fiancée as we prepare to tackle the Three Peaks challenge later this year! We set the challenge to raise money for Alzheimer’s Society, as both of our families have …

Weekender Special | Paris
Last March, Beth and I went out to Paris to celebrate her birthday. We spent almost a week there, with a few of the days spent exploring Disneyland which I’m sure I’ll post about at some point! For the first Weekender Special in 3 years, however, we look at the city of love itself. I’ll …

Hidden Gem | Husky Haven
Okay so who doesn’t love dogs? A survey in 2021 found that 34% of households have a dog, closely followed by 28% of households with cats. Some may have both, some may be allergic to dogs, but I think it’s safe to say that many people love them in some way. For Christmas last year, …
