I’m a passionate outdoor enthusiast and journalist who believes that the great outdoors should be accessible to everyone, especially families with children.

This blog was born from real life, from carrying my children in our trusty toddler carrier over muddy trails, convincing my reluctant girls, when they were small, that yes, the hill is worth it, and figuring out on the fly how to make camping with kids enjoyable (and not just survivable).

Everything I write comes from personal experience. I’ve hiked sections of the South West Coastal Path and the South Downs, completed the John O’Groats to Land’s End journey, run marathons and half-marathons, and soon-to-be ultramarathon, and now I do it all with two young children in tow. That mix of pre-kids adventure and family life is what shapes everything on this blog.

My content covers:

• Hiking with kids: from newborns in carriers to teens picking their own trails, including honest advice on when babies are ready, tips for toddlers, and routes we’ve personally loved across the UK
• Family camping: practical guides for everything from your first night under canvas to wild camping with children, with UK-specific tips and gear I use
• Gear reviews: only kit I’ve tested myself and would recommend
• Running: how to keep moving as a busy parent, routes across the UK, and training tips
• Skiing & Snowboarding: family adventures on the mountain, from first-timers to confident riders

If it’s on this blog, we’ve done it, learned from it, and come home muddy (or occasionally soaked) because of it.
