Wild Camping along the North Downs Way Section 7: Cuxton to Detling

Today’s the day, we get to cross that infamous river dividing the Men of Kent from the Kentish Men, and I’ve recently learned from local sources that the feud is still on. If not sure what I’m referring to, maybe have a quick stroll along section 5 before rejoining us in Cuxton, where […]

Short Film: A Canoe Adventure ‘Doon The Forth’

All this talk about Sir Connolly brought another short film to mind which made me chuckle quite a bit throughout lockdown thanks to its quirky characters, one of them also a Banjo player, just like the Big Yin, and both sporting an equally lovely Scottish accent I could listen […]

Polygamous, Monogamous, or Even a Bit Neurotic: What Type Are You These Days?

One at a time, or multiple here and there? Are you adventurous or tend to stick to a particular type? Do you tend to go through them rather quickly, and like to provide feedback and recommendations to others? If you ask Billy Connolly, he’d say he’s probably done all of […]

Six Months of Travelling — Done: Where to Next?

“If adventures do not befall a young lady in her own village, she must seek them abroad.” — Jane Austen …another quote that was ‘gifted’ to me this year and could not have been chosen any better as it appears to be something I lived by ever since I first left my hometown to explore […]

It’s My Party and I Hike If I Want to: A Surprisingly Perfect (Birth)Day in Wanaka, New Zealand

White chocolate-macadamia nut? Ginger snap? Double-chocolate? Oh boy, I’m not sure I can decide having pondered about what flavours they might have for the past 20 minutes… Glued to the edge of my seat, the movie was just about to take another turn as the […]

Wild Camping along the North Downs Way Section 6: Otford to Cuxton

Here we are, finally, day one of five, wild camping along the North Downs Way, and like every great British outdoor adventure, it had to start with rain, naturally, otherwise it wouldn’t be fun. Why would anyone want to start their day with dry gear and clothing? Ridiculous thought! Unlike […]

Short Film: ’40 Mile Birthday’

UK lockdown, are you over yet!? There’s light at the end of the tunnel, springy temperatures slowly emerging, but for some reason that cabin fever-feeling is real these days and starting to affect my creativity levels. One week passed by and I hardly put pen to paper, or digits to keyboard […]

A Run, a Song, a Memory: Dancing the Night away in Port Douglas

“Save tonight, fight the break of dawn…,” she was singing, her body dancing along with the soft tune that was travelling through the evening breeze, offering some relief from the heat that was slowly pushing down on us as the day came to an end “…come tomorrow, tomorrow I’ll be […]

Planning, Bricking, W(h)inging It, and Taking Back Control: Wild Camping Along the North Downs

After walking all the way from Farnham to Otford, something I did in 2019 and decided to share with you as well before finally covering my solo camping feat — a bit of suspense never hurt anyone I guess — it’s time to finally get that tent out and wild camp our way from Otford […]
