Saucony Virrata – review
Let me start off by saying… I am no runner. I have started the Couch to 5K programme twice – last year I stopped at week 3, fearful for my heart (it’s not good when you can feel your pulse bulging in your neck, and you may actually have wet yourself, is it?). But this year, accompanying the husband on his Road To Good Health, I have managed to stick with it all the way to week 9. But – on the cross-trainer. It...
Venice in a day – Day Five of the Great #ItalyRoadTrip
(be sure to follow us on Twitter or Instagram for regular updates on our four week adventure touring Italy in a motorhome) Up bright and early, we were at the campground reception office by 8.30 to buy our bus tickets into Venice. The bus stop is right outside the camp gates, and the bus comes every 30 minutes – it couldn’t be easier. A very helpful local stopped us getting on the wrong bus, and then assisted us with the...
Here it is – the GoPro Hero 3+ Review from our #GoProAdventures
I know, I know. The GoPro. If you have even heard of it, you know it is the camera that mad and stupid people strap to their heads when they throw themselves out of aeroplanes or glide through impossibly curly waves, yes? Well, yes. And no. It IS that thing, yes, absolutely. But.. it’s not ONLY that thing. As regular readers will know, a month or so ago we were picked along with just a handful of other bloggers to complete the...
Rock Climbing and Abseiling in Dorset for our #GoProAdventures
I think the most dreaded of our #GoProAdventures was the Rock Climbing and Abseiling in Dorset – only two of us were excited about the morning with Appetite for Adventure. The rest of us were quietly fearful! We couldn’t have hoped for better weather, though – the walk down to Dancing Ledge was utterly spectacular with sweeping blue skies meeting the sea on the horizon and barely a wisp of cloud. We all loved the walk so...
The Boots App. Unexpectedly it’s SO handy!
When Boots got in touch and asked me to review their app I admit I was about “um… yes… but i’m not sure you want me to. I just don’t really DO shopping on my phone”. But I agreed to give it a go, and duly downloaded the Boots App (I’m on android, but it’s available in the App store for iPads/iPhones too). There are a few permissions you need to grant – nothing that caused me undue...
It’s the LittleStuff #GoProAdventures Show. Careful. This camera may change your life.
A few weeks ago we were invited by GoPro to take part in a blogger’s challenge. Five families were invited; all working to complete a set of ten challenges using their new GoPro kit. And the winner? Oh, they get to go to the GoPro Mountain Games in Colorado next summer… *squeak* We’re a pretty outdoors kind of family anyway; we spend as much time as we possibly can clambering up far-too-high hills and mountains to...
