Walking and Rehyrdating with the Water-To-Go Bottle

Walking and Rehyrdating with the Water-To-Go Bottle

  This week I went out for another Cornish winter walk to soak up a bit of the non-rainy weather and to test out my new Water-to-Go bottle. Compared to a lot of the weather recently it was gorgeous, totally stunning with only 60% or so cloud coverage – pretty much tropical! We stomped through the countryside spotting wildlife, livestock, mud and other such bumpkiness (I’m pretty sure I just invented that word – someone make sure I get credit…

Up and Coming In Cornwall – Alex from On Serpentine Shores

Up and Coming In Cornwall – Alex from On Serpentine Shores

  I love all the Cornish B’s – Beaches, Beers, Bands and Blogs. When it comes to Cornish blogs, On Serpentine Shores has got to be one of my favourites.

  Why should Ninjas have all the fun? That’s what I was thinking as I ordered these throwing knives over at the Knife Warehouse.

So for just over a tenner, these sharp and pointy fellows seemed well worth it. The next weekend after their arrival, a friend and I met up to test out…

I decided to purchase a proper mans outdoors hat in the form of this soft brown leather Australian style bush hat from Wombat Leather. It arrived in one of those posh draw string bags that I’ve only ever seen things like my girlfriends designer handbags stored in. This added…

Slacklining for the Very First Time with a Maverick Slackline

Slacklining for the Very First Time with a Maverick Slackline

  I had walked through Kimberly Park in Falmouth several times and seen students doing what looked like tight rope walking, only they weren’t high up over Niagara Falls with a long stick in their hands – they were about a foot off the ground and between two trees. It was only recently that I saw a video of Slacklining on youtube and finally realised what they were actually doing. Slacklining is the sport of balancing on a length of…
