New Equipment just arrived
So the camping season has arrived again. This time I have my son joining me on a short part of the South Downs Way with 2 nights of camping. This means I really needed some more stuff! Any excuse. Cooking Equipment I did get the Fire-Maple Buzz burner for Christmas but didn’t get anything else… Continue reading

Coastal Path – Stanford-le-Hope to Tilbury
Roughly a year ago I finished up the coastal path near Stanford-le-Hope and haven’t really had the opportunity to go back and finish the last leg towards London. It looked as though it was going to be a good day on my day off so I penciled it in. Thankfully the weather forecast stayed true… Continue reading

Isle of Wight Walk – Planning
I wanted something a little smaller this year so I could fit in perhaps two of them in the summer months. Having been to the Isle of Wight many times I know that the coastal path is a good one to do. Roughly, 70 miles long, I plan to do it over 4 days. Day… Continue reading

North Downs Way – Final Day
Folkestone to Dover I had a good sleep, woke up and had a good breakfast. I headed out earlier than I had planned as I just wanted to get to the finish! The sight of Castle Hill in front of me reminded me it would still take some energy even if it was a shorter… Continue reading

North Downs Way – Day 8
Westwell to Folkestone I couldn’t quite work out if I had a good nights sleep or not. I packed everything up and ate some digestives with peanut butter, hoping for better food soon. I headed off into some estate, the signage being poor as usual I got lost a couple of times. After nearly getting… Continue reading

North Downs Way – Day 7
Detling to Westwell I had a great sleep, maybe due to my new mattress. I got myself ready and had a few breakfast bars before taking the tent down. The day promised to be warm but not too hot and I headed out of the campsite and back down the hill to rejoin where I… Continue reading

North Downs Way – Day 6
Rochester to Detling I awoke earlier than I had hoped as the occupant in the room above had the heaviest footfall known to man. I laid around a bit but eventually dragged myself down for some breakfast. I was not feeling it today which is a bit odd as I felt really good finishing the… Continue reading
