A slight detour from my posts around the world and the start of some focus on the amazing places the UK has to offer. By now, if you’ve read any of my other posts, you’ll notice that I like activity based adventures. Whether it’s skiing in Germany, sailing in Scotland or playing football in Bulgaria …

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 …

First 2023 Dive
It’s finally happened. I’ve been able to kick start my 2023 dive season and get back into the water! I’ve also managed to get some diving that’s challenged me personally, which is what I’m wanting to achieve this year. So what actually happened? How did the day go? Dive Objectives One of our club members, …

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 …

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, …

Ticklist Traveller | Bristol
For the second Ticklist Traveller I’m taking you (much) closer to home. Bristol is often referred to as the gateway to the South West, but for me it’s home. I grew up here. I spent my weekends as a kid heading into the city centre with friends for shopping trips. These later turned to weekend …
