We woke to the sound of rain hitting our tent so not only was it soaked on the outside but the inside was coated in condensation which is a daily occurrence now. Some days are worse than others and any movement inside the tent causes the water to drip down on us. We managed to…

The start of our Western Australia roadtrip
Returning to Australia was never really part of our plan. It was the first country we ever visited together back in 2008 when we lived in a station wagon car for 9 months which also housed a family of mice, humongous cockroaches and hand-sized spiders, maybe that’s why we never planned on coming back? But…
Desert storms and flash floods | Wahiba Sands and Wadi Bani Khalid
It’s time for us to explore another wadi in Oman and this time we’re heading to Wadi Bani Khalid. It’s said to be a lot more developed than Wadi Shab but we were still excited to check it out. This time we didn’t arrive early in the morning, we just rocked up at 1ish which…
Exploring the Bimmah Sinkhole and Wadi Shab | Oman
We woke up surrounded by small sand dunes with the sun hitting the wind-swept ripples and our tent nestled beneath them. After some breakfast in the dunes we took the opportunity to pour some water over my hair and give it a wash which was well needed and then we hit the road towards Wadi…
Our first impressions of Oman | The start of our 14 day camping trip
After 9 months working in a hotel in the Lake District it’s finally time to hit the road again. Our original plan of doing a huge USA roadtrip were rudely demolished after Craig was denied his visa for no apparent reason. Which led us to going back to the drawing board and figuring out a…
Our best camping trip | Wild swims, crazy sunsets and cloud inversions
A bizarre heat-wave hit us at the start of September and we couldn’t resist a 2 night 3 day camping trip in the hills. We headed north on a bus through the Lake District where we began an extremely steep hike, gaining about 500m elevation in less than a kilometre. We’d camped in the same…
Two extremely different camping trips | Thunderstorms and crazy sunsets
Summer in the Lake District has looked a little different to what we were expecting, call us ignorant but 3 months of rain and wind was a bit of a shock. Our camping trips came to a grinding halt because it’s just miserable in bad weather, saying that we did a spontaneous trip for my…
Camping above the clouds in the Lake District
Just as we began walking through the forest two owls swooped above our heads. It happened so quickly but Craig managed to see where one of them flew and we were able to have a look at the wee thing that resembled a 90’s fur-baby. Craig googled the breed of owl when we got home…
Swarms of midges & swimming under waterfalls | Wild Camping in the Lake District
For our camping trip this week we’ve opted for just a one night stay so we can spend the first day hiking up to the highest hills and maximise our chances of waking up to a cloud inversion. It’s only been 4 days since our last camping trip and to be honest we need a…
An idyllic lake-side camp spot and sunrise from a summit | England
We had another sunny spell for our days off so set off after work towards Coniston in the western Lakes. From there we rambled up the hills, taking the least popular route so we could guarantee a peaceful campspot. After about 5km we came across a lovely grassy ledge with a view of the hills…
