Despite the dismal weather on our last camping trip, we were still keen to get out and walk whenever possible. For our first proper walk with the baby we headed north up the A515 to Buxton Country Park. The site is also the home of Poole’s Cavern (and Go […]
As much as I love camping, I was a little apprehensive about taking our 5 month old for the first time. In reality, our first trip was fantastic. Our intrepid little boy took it all in his stride and it was no harder looking after him in a […]

I’m currently working my way through some old posts, editing and generally tidying up a bit, and was reminded of an outing that we really enjoyed. Back in January 2014 we visited Lyveden New Bield and incorporated a walk along the Lyveden Way as well. The view from […]
