As many of you will know, I’ve been visiting one of my favourite places in the UK – Perranporth – every year since I was about 8 years old. It holds a special place in my heart. What doesn’t hold a special place in my heart, however, is the A30 and M5 traffic. After taking […]
I visited Seealpsee back in August 2019, as part of my first Swiss Whisky Trek experience. Now that I know what the area is all about, it’s safe to say you should be brimming with excitement to explore this area of the Swiss Alps. If you’re arriving into Wasserauen by train – perfect, it’s the […]

Welcome to my review of Chalet Mouria in Courchevel 1650. Part of the SkiWeekends catered chalet collection, Chalet Mouria is […]

The Cocks village to Goonhavern section of the trail was completed in November 2022. That now means cyclists and walkers can take advantage of the new route, […]
This post is for the Ski Safe Blogger Campaign by AliKats Mountain Holidays and Piste X Code. I randomly discovered the other day that I now have over 20 years ski experience, having skied for 19 weeks across 7 different countries. Not that I’m counting, but I did give myself a pat on the back […]
