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 …

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 …

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 …

South Coast Sailing | August 2022
Following the UK’s hottest ever days, I had the opportunity to go sailing for a week from Gosport by Portsmouth. For once, it wasn’t on a particular qualifying course where objectives had to be met. The week was ours to decide what we wanted to do. If there were any skills we wanted to practic, …
