We’ve been boating on the Norfolk Broads and only crashed the boat once. You can’t say that the Norfolk Broads is renowned for its excitement, crack houses or…

Modern life is rubbish, so we’ve come to the woods to get back to basics with a bit of bushcraft. This is the sort of thing that survivalists,…

We visited all the best tourist sites in Paris so you don’t have to…. and we loved every minute of it. To be honest, we’d been putting off…
We’ve been Go Karting at Teamworks Mansfield. I am the crappiest driver I know, what the hell do I know about cars, I drive a Kia, I’m the…
This is the dead centre of Paris, we’re gone 65 feet underground to stare death in the face, an underground labyrinth of death, these are skeletons and skulls…

We’ve come to Yorkshire Wildlife Park, all because Mrs Cook wants to go somewhere warm this year on holiday like Kenya and being a bit of a cheap…
Wanting to get some relief from the hell that is surviving Christmas, we thought it might be an idea to head to the Nottingham Winter Wonderland, have a…
You will have seen photos, you will have seen documentaries, you may have been taught in school. Some people will be compelled to visit here, some feel they must,…
We’re in Poland’s second city spending four days in the quaint, cultural, crazy Krakow for city break. A curious mix of communist, medieval and modern buildings wrapped around…
We live in a country where shooting guns is considered uncommon, unless you are the estates gamekeeper, in the army or a criminal intent on blagging a bookies…
Autumn, the days are short, the nights are drawing in and there’s a chill in the air that signals the change of season. It’s time for crisp colourful…
On the way back down from our adventures in the Orkney Islands, we’ve had several nights in a rustic lodge near Plockton. Plockton is a gorgeous village where…
Our Orcadian adventure now captured, partially at least, in a travel video. Just a bit of fun using a mixture of a Canon 200D and our very basic…
Following on from the earlier post of our Adventures in Orkney- What You Need To Know and for those who are absolute suckers of big erect stones (schoolboy…
The road to Orkney is a long one. It doesn’t look far on a map but it’s a 12 hour drive and far more than the 500 miles…

We’re spending 24 hours in Liverpool. We’ve mainly come to see the Terracotta Warriors at the World Museum but seeing as we are spending the night here we…

I don’t know a Bhuna from a Balti, so that’s precisely why we’ve come the Manor School of Fine Cuisine at the Nottingham School of Cookery to get…
RIP Moonwalker Alan Bean who sadly passed away yesterday, May 26th 2018. Alan Bean was the first astronaut I ever met. The most warm, personable and the funniest.…
OK, let’s get this out of the way. This holiday is not what it was supposed to be. We had hired a cameprvan, a classic VW to nomadically…
What do you do if you fail the eyesight test for the US Air Force, then fail the eyesight test for the US Navy? You go straight over…
Under siege. That’s how I would class any visit to Prague. A city of a hundred spires and home to amazing Gothic architecture untouched by the grubby hands…
