Just up the Trail

Some more photos I’ve been playing with.

I saw a dude making photo zines from old notebooks and it’s an idea I’m going to steal!

So the plan is to collate my old photos into various physical collections that work on a bit of a theme. I believe once upon a time they were called albums!!

Anyway…the first one will be “Coast” and I’m just messing around with the photos at moment . Not bothering with posh printing either just trying to make something with the stuff I have.

If it works I might do a very short run of handmade zines but mostly it’s a just for me project.

Llyn Pen*sula Day 3 Photo Dump

Tried to go up a mountain. Got 3 parts of the way up and the wind became obnoxious. No fun whatsoever so we turned around and went the beach via an arty place.

Back at the campfire now…home tomorrow

Llyn Pen*sula Day 2 Photo Dump

Some actual sunshine today and while we were touring in the car a bit we found some proper cool places away from the crowds.

Just settling in for some campfire Gnocchi (not a glorious euphemism), Marshmallows and some Rum & Ginger

Photo Dump - Llyn Pen*sula Day 1

A very long drive in the rain but our home for the week is definitely worth it!
Thatched Roundhouse in the woods with composting toilets and what appears to be a river water shower!!!

Looking forward to exploring more over the next few days!

Dartmoor
It’s where I taught my kids to cherish the outdoors. It’s where we go for adventure. It’s where we go for solitude and it’s where we to be together as a family.

It’s a beautiful and special place that they tried to take off us. And failed!

Thank you to all the activists and organisers who protected this place for my kids and theirs. uk .2roam and everyone else. Thank you

the Kelly Kettle is a great option for bushcrafters and campers who are looking for a durable and efficient way to boil water using natural fuels.
