We all say it every year, "Right I'm lossing weight this year and getting fit". But we soon find out that their is a lot more to it then just the odd run. Setting that realistic end goal is the first step. For alot of people getting to a point where they can run again is the goal. Wheather that be so they can have a game of football with the kids or run a marathon to raise money for a charity close to their heart. Goals are important. Improve that personal best.…continue reading →
Adventures in my first kayak

Adventures in my first kayak

Growing up as a kid I did some kayaking in a number of locations, from the Beacon Becons in Wales, to the Lake District, but this was back when I was 12 years old. Then in a previous job with the Ministry of Defence I had the pleasure of doing some further kayaking and canoeing in verious places across the UK from rivers, canals to lakes.

Devon coast on a sunny day.

Devon coast on a sunny day.

Britain has miles of stunning coastline, every turn on the coastal footpath displays another amazing view. This little island I call home is a magnificent place. I hope through my life I can experience as much of it as possible. The British weather only adds to the drama, the sound of the waves, the spray in the air. Walking gives me time to think, time to dream. My mind wonders from one thing to another, almost like trying to piece together a puzzle. It's the puzzle of life. Working out what pieces need…continue reading →

Duckpool is just one of the small bay scattered along the Devon coastline, at high tide an intimidating harsh bay, at low tide, thousands of smooth pebbles.
