    Why do I volunteer?

    I worked as an Active Schools Coordinator for 9 years. The bread a butter of that role was to recruit and support a network of volunteers who delivered extra curricular sports activities to school aged children for free. It wasn’t easy. Many people run a mile when you mention volunteering; they are worried that they […]

    Running in the Dark……

    When you have kids and you work, trying to fit outdoor exercise into daily life is hard. Especially so in Scotland in the winter, when it gets light after 8am and dark around 4pm. It’s easy in summer, with endless hours of daylight in which to run or ride. Before Jasmine came along 9 years […]

  • Wild Camping with Small People -Part 1

    My husband Andy and I have camped together ever since we met. We would wild camp all year round. We love camping….   We would happily sleep under canvas in the depths of winter on climbing or skiing trips.  However, when our daughter was 4 weeks old we made the decision to buy a campervan (that […]

  • Get Outside!

    Being in the outdoors doesn’t have to cost a fortune or involve you travelling for miles to get there, or take all day. It is right outside your door. If you live in a city there will be undiscovered green spaces to treat your senses, new routes through quiet areas that you didn’t know existed, […]

    I was asked to give a presentation to teenage girls on physical activity at the WOW – Women of the World festival in Perth recently. The festival is a national initiative celebrating women and girls, and looking at the obstacles that stop them from achieving their potential. I was told I would have around forty 15/16yr […]

    The Revolution has Started!

    It turns out that blogging is definitely something I need to learn the art of. It was pointed out to me recently that hadn’t I tried and failed to blog years ago, and that this blog seemed to be going the same way. Yes, that person would be absolutely right and its not that I […]

    The Revolution……

    Since we came to Comrie my love of two wheels has increased year on year,  and since  my family came along it has increased tenfold. Biking with the family is such a great activity and our local area is fantastic for biking of any kind. I rode my bike whilst pregnant with both Jasmine and […]

  • Discovering Road Biking

    Discovering Road Biking

    For years I just had a mountain bike, riding trails, single track and paths off road, sometimes on-road, which is a little bit like trying to ride a tractor on the road! Five years ago we went on holiday to Gairloch in the campervan. Andy had his road bike with us, as well as both […]
