New hobby unlocked: Hiking and Wild Camping

My ongoing journey of adulting has led me to some delightful areas that seem to resurrect mnay parts of my childhood. Who would have guessed that the world of hiking and wild camping would capture my heart? It all began with a curious twist of fate when I joined a medieval reenactment group (More on that in a future post!). My quest for knowledge about crafting bows pulled me down the YouTube rabbit hole, unveiling a treasure trove of bushcraft and wild camping videos. Memories of my youthful escapades in the outdoors, hitting the Lochs and rivers , fishing rod in hand, or walking home with friends through woodland pretending to be Rangers from Dungeons and Dragons, or Baldur's Gate.

In this digital wilderness, I chanced upon a band of exceptional YouTube adventurers whose content I feel compelled to share with you:

Yet among this band of intrepid content creators, a particular spark ignited my enthusiasm like no other – WildBeare. Her videos have an uncanny ability to plaster a grin across my face, no matter the circumstances. 😄

So, let's talk about the recent escapades that have infused my summer with the spirit of adventure. Picture this: traversing the Scottish North Coast 500, my trusty campsite a wild patch of heaven; or nestled within Wales' Snowdonia National Park, the very essence of nature's majesty surrounding me; and just this past weekend, finding myself beneath the open skies in the embrace of the Ochill mountain range near Stirling, Scotland.

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. So, without further ado, allow me to share a few snapshots from my summer adventures:














My journey into the realm of adulthood has become an enchanting tapestry woven with threads of nostalgia and newfound passions. Stay tuned for more tales of adventure, as I continue to explore the wonders of the world around us. Until then, remember to embrace your inner adventurer and let your spirit roam free! 🌄🏞️🏕️
