The Weekend Diaries

About the Channel

When I'm too old and frail to hike the hills, I'd rather look back on nights spent under the stars and days spent chasing adventure than remember the days I spent staring at four walls. Right now, I'm rebuilding my fitness after a quiet winter. Many of my hikes are done with a full backpack, not just to enjoy the outdoors, but to prepare for longer wild camping expeditions in the future. I can't always drive two or three hours to reach the wildest corners of the country, so I spend a lot of my time searching for micro-adventures closer to home. Sometimes that means exploring a new trail, following a long-distance footpath, or scouting potential wild camp locations for future trips. Along the way, I'm testing gear, learning what works and what doesn't, and sharing the journey as it happens. Not every hike ends with a camp, and not every plan goes to plan, but every trip is a step towards bigger adventures. So grab a brew, lace up your boots, and come along for the ride.
