Welcome to my page,
I'm happiest outdoors hiking, biking, photographing and blogging as much as I can while I can. love the adventure of New challenges..I work down South, so I tend to go out around the Jurassic Coastal areas or The New Forest. When I'm back home in North Wales I'll be found hiking up and around the 823 square miles of Parc Cenedlaethol Eryri ( Snowdonia National Park ) Mental health advocate, find me on Instagram.com/aka_bigdogg/

Peak Bagging - East Man Hill

A lovely start to the day. I always love staying over night here. peaceful as anything. If the weather is on your side, you'll see a beautiful sunset over Chapman's Pool, and an even better sunrise over the Dorset Downs. Stroll through the village taking in it's charms, crunching…

Mooching about Sherborne

Finally made it!!
If the Cotswolds and a history book had a very posh baby, it would be Sherborne. This Dorset gem is famous for having not one, but two castles: a sturdy 12th-century ruin and a "new" 1594 Elizabethan mansion built by Sir Walter Raleigh.
​The crown jewel…

To the man in the wall!!! Yep... the wall!!

The most amazing story about this place. I love these kind of places. Passed this on way to Sherborne... what a find!!! If you're interested in the story behind it, click on the highlight of the church I made, stick on the kettle, make a brew, pull up a chair…

Cerne Abbas

Finally chalked off my list.... chalked! Get it?
Stroll past a massive, club-wielding chalk giant whose... enthusiasm is hard to miss. Expect steep climbs, sheepish onlookers, and enough "big" energy to make your calves scream. It’s a literal peak British experience!
