Up early this morning to get the bikes over to Halfords for a free safety check. I highly recommend that anybody with a bike goes and gets them checked out. Many of us leave unchecked, unless something becomes obvious, when really, we should be checking them like we would our cars. So in a little … Continue reading
A day full of sport and physical activity has been had. I went and played golf with Frank, my father-in-law today when I looked on my golf app it was almost 1 year since I last played so it’s going to be interesting as to how that would go. The first nine holes were pretty … Continue reading
Back at home for the fourth week of summer and with the opening of David Lloyd, back to tennis, the treadmill and swimming. A good 5km run prior to my tennis lesson on Monday, holding a steady 13kph. After the run, it was time for my tennis lesson. My back hand seemed pretty good and … Continue reading
Back home now after a great 6 nights over in Malvern. The hills were spectacular and getting up North Hill a highlight of the week. It was also great to do a few walks and visit Upton upon Severn. Packing up the camper van this morning was simple enough, even with an awning. A lazy … Continue reading
The last full day in the campervan, beneath the Malvern Hills. Great times with the family and enjoying the walks and rides. I had planned to run everyday but have only been once. We have done something everyday though, be it walking or cycling. Today we visited Croome Park, a National Trust site. The grounds … Continue reading
When you gaze up to see the stars, you can get lost in the marvel that is space. Doing so is something I’ve always enjoyed, from the army childhood of camping out at the weekend and lying comfy in a sleeping bag and watching the stars above. We used to look for satellites. Tonight as … Continue reading
It’s the 20th day of the summer holidays and tonight I saw the greatest shooting star that I’ve ever seen before. This morning I went for a run which took me across some farmers’ fields and something of about 6 km. It was so very hot but a beautiful run. The Malvern Hills looked great … Continue reading
About halfway through the break in Malvern and we’ve covered some distance and gained height as we have gone. A break is good and the thinking that goes with it, dangerous. Woke up today to another warm and sunny environment. It’s been quite nice, the lazy start to the day but not setting off till … Continue reading
It has been a great day here in Malvern. We’ve cycled quite a lot and it’s been great to see Dan playing with lots of friends on the campsite – these are new friends and hopefully socially distancing. We set off on what we planned to be about a 15 km bike ride and hopefully … Continue reading
It’s the start of week three of the break and I’m back in the campervan having travelled down to Great Malvern for some exploration on the bikes and by foot. As we approached, Dan and Kate weren’t too keen by all accounts to go riding up Malvern Hills – not sure why not. Dan has … Continue reading
