So it’s been seven weeks since I left work (seven glorious weeks) and it amazes me how quickly time has flown by. Some of it has been productive, some not so. I’ve fallen in and out of love (addiction) with Love Film and Netflix and lost many days of good intentions to simply moving from … More Time does fly when you’re having fun

Now some of you may be aware that managed to get myself into a little trouble a few weeks back with the a couple of good fellows from the Thames Valley police. Now I shan’t go into details (yet) as the whole experience (whilst mildly amusing post fact) still troubles me somewhat when I think … More Jedi training in UK police force

On other notes – and totally contrary with my last post all about ‘stop wasting my life and getting fit’ – I just joined Love Film again. Their ‘Watch Now’ is just AWESOME. Talk about ways to lose weeks of your life for £4.99 a month (with a 30 day free trail)!  There are plenty … More Love Film in all its glory

So I am now a man of leisure.   My last working day for 2012 was on Friday 16th November and hopefully I will not be working again until some time in 2014. God* that sounds good.  And as is only right for such a prestigious occasion as my last day at work for over a … More Can I rebuild myself?

Belize. We’re going to head to Belize first. This then dictates our directions of travel; Central and South America – Pacific Islands and New Zealand then Asia, India, Africa.   Or at least, that is the current plan. But the whole thing is we don’t want a plan, or too much of one at any … More The initial destination is set! (sort of)

Quite literally it seems. As you may know, a couple of years ago I set out to, and did run, the London Marathon.  It was a massive undertaking for me as at the time of deciding to do it I couldn’t run for toffee. In fact the furthest I had ever run was a 10k … More I am weak

So another year has passed since my last post.  A lot has happened in 2012. To surmise: Took Voluntary Redundancy from Firebox.com after 9.5 years (very sad) Sold my Flat having lived there for 7 years Moved in with Kate in Kingston (massive deal!!) Got a new job with Worldnet Direct Spent a small fortune … More 2012 – Stepping away from the grindstone and heading off

In a change to my scheduled plan I decided to drive to, hike, and drive home from Snowdon in a single day (instead of 3). It wasn’t I was bored with camping, more that I decided I had some other stuff to do with the two extra days off I would gain; a report I … More Snowdon

If you have a love of camping and the outdoors the I would stronglyurge you to camp at the national parks campsite at Wasdale Head. It sits at the end of the wast water lake with both Scafell Pike andGreat Gable in clear view to the east. The drive in along the lakeshore is a … More Wasdale Head and Scafell Pike

The drive here was very long, 11 hours start to finish, and thoughmost if that was very boring (and frustrating and disappointing)motorway driving, the last two hours on the A82 through the highlandswere amazing. Totally worth it just for that. Without prior booking I find myself at the Glen Nevis campsite whichis at the base … More Fort William and Ben Nevis
