John Muir Country Park to Seacliff Beach | UK Coast
Yesterday we drank from a public toilet, today we washed ourselves in a public toilet... and even had a camp fire on the beach, perfect! Oh... and we had to walk 2 miles back to camp!
Barns Ness Lighthouse to John Muir Country Park | UK Coast
A day of pure joy and pushing through the wall, but hey, not so bad really. We had ice cream and coffee and even got to drink from a public toilet...!
Cockburnspath to Barns Ness Lighthouse | UK Coast
So were off... on our way around the coast of the UK. It almost feels underwhelming but you have to start somewhere!
Ben Vane | The Munro that punches above its weight!
Ben Vane was a tough, steep climb, more of a scramble than a walk, that left us speechless on its plateau summit. Surrounded by towering munros and Loch Lomond stretching out below, Ben Vane was anything but underwhelming and tougher than either of us had expected.
How to walk the Elie (Fife) Chain Walk safely
The Elie Chain Walk in Fife is the only chain walk in the UK. With a good head for heights, a sense of adventure, and being more of a scramble than a walk, the Elie chain walk gave us all a thrilling mini-adventure. This is how you can complete the Elie Chain Walk safely.
The Elie (Fife) Chain Walk | A near-death experience
The Elie (Fife) Chain Walk is a short walking (scrambling) route that utilises chains permanently attached to the base of sea cliffs. Located at Elie, a small coastal village in Fife, the Elie (Fife) Chain Walk has been on our bucket list for years. Today we finally got to complete it…
Vegan Biscoff Flapjack
This sweet, high-energy, vegan flapjack is packed full of flavour. It’s easy to make, quick to bake and one of our favourite foods on the trail. We always have a stash in the freezer ready as a quick grab-and-go meal for those last-minute adventures!Â
The Brack and Cnoc Còinnich | Two Corbetts and a wild camp
This was no gentle stroll in the hills or simple night under canvas. This was a summit camp on a Scottish mountain which demanded a great deal of grit, determination and sweat! I embarked on a two-day mountain trek in the Arrochar Alps to reach the summits of The Brack and Cnoc Còinnich.
Ben Vorlich (Loch Lomond) | Climbing into the clouds
Climbing Ben Vorlich (Loch Lomond) into the swirling clouds above was exhilarating and exciting. The anticipation built with each step as the world below faded away. Cold air filled our lungs, the wind wrapping around us, and breathtaking views, albeit brief, stretched for miles in every direction.
Lismore | Three days hiking & wild camping around the island of Lismore
Located close to Oban in Loch Linnhe, Lismore gave us a diverse and exciting adventure full of history and rugged coastlines.
A failed attempt to bag Meall Ghaordaidh and a cookout beside Loch Ard
Once bitten, twice shy... and a lesson learned in avoiding the crowds on Scotland's munros.
