Walking, Wilderness, Wanderlust and Wellness
We checked the chances of rain last night at at 20% after 9am we thought it would be a good chance to get the lavvu tent up to try to suss out how easy it is. First goes... it was no problem, took about ten minutes. We had left the two halves together to make …

Living in Scotland it is hard not to get a little hacked off at mother nature when she decided that she wants to rehydrate the land. When you are away walking or camping you soon realise there is different types of rain and wind. The lighted of touch that you barely notice, to three minutes …

Excited about what is to come. We didn't share much of our adventures last year but we did have a few trips out in the van and have switched from the Khyam Kampa Motordome to the Khyam Kamper XC. We felt that this would allow us to sleep out when the weather was warm, then …
Nestled away just North of Dunfermline lies a little place called Aberdour which is definitely worth a wee trip. Heading from the Dunfermline side there is an interesting and unusual little shop called 'The Green Witch' which sells crystals, dream catchers and incense.

We drove up through Aberfoyle, where we got married last year and drove up the hill past the Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and onto Loch Katrine. There was a little activity with a small takeaway shop and toilets open which was a welcome surprise. It was lovely to feel the sun as we walked around …
After so many months researching and studying all that is involved with getting a van, our fabulous LG arrived a few weeks ago. Imported from Japan with super low mileage, our new adventure wheels rocked up into our street (nothing like a wee doorstep delivery to save us the hassle!). It is a Nissan Elgrand …

I have mixed feelings about winter… I love how picturesque the Ochil hills are when they are covered in snow. They are a perfect and beautiful reminder of the seasons changing. I feel relieved when Winter Solstice arrives and the days will get longer again. I look for signs of Spring as I wander… the …
Had another wee look at this and have managed to get batteries for it. In the instructions it says to avoid rechargeable batteries but normal AA batteries should be hunky dory! It all seems easy enough! It takes AA batteries which are enclosed and protected away from the weather. I am wondering whether the motion …
