Just outside of the town of Fort William, lying majestically amongst shingle and sand is the Corpach shipwreck. This great fishing vessel rests on Caol Beach, overlooked by Ben Nevis, the tallest mountain in the whole of the United Kingdom.

A Recap of 2021: The Year My Priorities Shifted
It’s probably fair to say that 2021 was not quite the year that many of us had envisioned. The pandemic had already taken one year away from us, forcing us to live lives in isolation and in fear for the future. I know I was stupidly hopeful that 2021 would be different – would be… Read More

300 Mile Scottish Highlands Road Trip in an Electric Car
Everyone told me that I was crazy. That I’d never make it to such a remote part of Scotland. That I’d spend hours at charging stations. That I could potentially run out of electricity and be stranded. But their words of discouragement did anything but deter me from the task that I had set out… Read More

Deer-Spotting in Tatton Park
A dark shadow fell across my body and I stifled a sigh. I turned my gaze towards the darkening sky, disappointed to see the final rays of sun being concealed behind a thick blanket of cloud.

Climbing Waterfalls in Snowdonia
I did it! By some way of a miracle, I slept all the way through the night, lulled into a deep and peaceful sleep by the therapeutic rumble of the river outside our tent. It certainly made a difference that I remembered to bring pillows this time. Top tip, a lack of pillows whilst camping… Read More

Driving to Snowdonia & How We Nearly Turned Back
It was time for our third camping trip. We'd been holding it off for a couple of weeks in the hope that the weather would pick up. It also allowed us time to finally get the car fixed. 3 weeks later, the weather still wasn't great but I just couldn't hold off waiting any longer… Read More

A Day at Little Moreton Hall
I've decided that I just don't see enough of my country. I often sit, daydreaming about being on holiday (like reminiscing about my recent trip to the Seychelles) when really there's just so much to do if only I got out the house more! This Saturday was different - I decided to go on an… Read More
