London, like Sydney and Auckland for British Backpackers, is ground zero for that backpacking around the UK and quite often those on working Holiday Visas from Australia. It can be an expensive place to visit but the countless unique experiences that greet the 30 million international visitors each year are well worth the cost. It’s […]
Manchester (we think) is better than London, but alas not that many people make it up this way. London, Edinburgh… even Liverpool with their Beatles stuff (I do love Liverpool)… but as with many countries there are lots of other places to see. Don’t even get me started on Leeds, Chester, York, Belfast and of course […]
Liverpool, the city where the Beatles were born! Since my brother made the controversial move from Manchester to Liverpool we find ourselves visited at least a few times a year and despite clearly not being quite as good as our great city it does have its charms!! Oh, who are we kidding, we love spending […]
On a stormy bank holiday Monday we were looking for a new adventure activity to have a go at. As the rain kept beating down on and off we decided to head for the water and decided to finally give Stand Up Paddling a try! After all, if we were going to get wet we […]
Theme parks, some of the most exhilarating fun you can have whilst being in little danger…abandoned theme parks on the other hand, creepy apocalyptic and dangerous! As serial Urbexers (urban explorers) this local park had been on the radar for a while especially as we visited many times as kids when it was open. Exploring […]
Striding edge, probably the most infamous scramble in the British Isles. It strikes fear into the hearts of even the most weathered fell walker and is not without it’s legends and tragedies. The knife edge arête which leads to the summit of Helvellyn claims lives each year and yet is still at the top of the list […]
During our recent adventure weekend in the Lake District we decided to take a little bit of a different path up towards the mountain of Helvellyn. Instead of taking trails for the most part we followed the path of the river “Glenridding Beck” until it diverted off course and we met with the steeper part […]
This weekend on Saturday the 13th of June we celebrated our second wedding anniversary. It’s pretty hard to get our heads around the fact that it has been 2 years since our amazing wedding in New York City! We have had so many adventures together since then, seen and done some awesome things that and […]
Malham cove is an amphitheatre of stunning white rock, a powerful show of natures force as well as being one of the most legendary sport climbing venues in the UK. Add to that the fact that Harry Potter was filmed up on its famous limestone pavement and you have an ancient wonder of the British […]
One of our main aims that we set out for this year was to get out there and try as many new and exciting things as we could. We just love adventures and adrenaline rushes and have also succeeded so far to get out climbing much more. We got the chance to head up to […]
Climbing features high in our aims for 2015 and already we have plans in motion to head over to the magnificent cliffs of Pembroke in South Wales in early April. Having been side-lined since November due to knee surgery as soon as the weather opened up, no matter how cold it was, we were keen […]
This weekend over 10,000 people came to the village of Littleborough, which is where I happen to call home when I’m not travelling, to watch the largest free sport event on the planet as it passed through this small section of Greater Manchester. This was something I could not miss out on! Yorkshire has been […]
