Silkstone Shuffle #1
It was a lovely spring saturday morning, No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn. A little muddy, with a slight chill in the air and still a little bit of snow lingering in the corners of Barnsleys’ Silkstone as myself and Deb’s (and family) made our way to the dark side of South […]
Dukeries Dusk into Dark
And now for something completely different..a dusk into dark race around the splendid surroundings of Sherwood; Nottinghamshire. Well what else would you do with £20 on a Saturday evening?

And that’s your idea of a fun […]

Clowne Tow Path 10km
It was no laughing matter as me and my friend headed towards Worksop for the Clowne Towpath and Trail 10km on a dull May Sunday morning. After spending half the night up with a very sick cat I didn’t have high expectations for this. Did you hear about the cat who drank 5 bowls of […]
