Day four got off to a bit of a bad start. In the night the wind going through the trees above us made one hell of a racket and kept waking me up. Also, god knows where the light was coming from, but there was a constant light coming through the canvas of the tent. […]
Coast to Coast Walk – Day 3
Waking up in a bed, two days in a row, I could get used to this. Hopefully though I wasn’t going to because we were planning on making up for the time lost yesterday and getting to Shap. If we could do that it would put us back on schedule. So we got up at […]
Coast to Coast Walk – Day 2
Everyone in the hostel had the same idea and we were all woken up at the same time by the chiming of alarms which were coincidently all set for the same time. I didn’t get up with the same spring that I did the day before. I was still quite tired, not fully rested but […]
Coast to Coast Walk – Day 1
The alarm went off in the tent at 7 a.m. and we both woke up a little bleary eyed. There was no rush, no train to catch and no one to meet. We just had to get up and get on with it. We opened the door to the tent to let a little air […]
Pale in Comparison – The session #64
The session. Once a month beer bloggers from around the world take five minutes to all discuss a particular topic. This month the topic is “Pale in comparison”. It was suggested by this months host, The Beer Babe. The Brief was to find two different pale ales and talk about them. I have to admit that last […]
Coast to Coast Walk – Getting there
I was hoping to write my blog posts for the coast to coast walk as I went along. I knew that I wouldn’t get signal every day but I thought that I would be able to at least write up what had happened each day and then post it when possible. The best laid plans […]
Coast to Coast Walk – The preparation
I woke up this morning at just gone 10, I looked at the clock, noted the time and rolled back over. Then the date registered. I thought for a second, what day was it we were going? Tuesday? Was that the 14th or 15th? Have I got another day or is this it? Today is […]
Camden Crawl – Day 2
I woke up on day two of the Camden Crawl with a bit of a hangover. By no means the worst hangover I have ever had but worse than I was expecting. Fidgeting to find my phone to tell me the time I realise that its way too early for breakfast yet and I get […]
Camden Crawl – Day 1
It’s Saturday. I’ve woken up from drinking one too many the night before and discovered that in my wisdom I decided not to pack the night before. I look at the time and realise that it is still early and I don’t need to worry, and with that I promptly went back to sleep. A […]
That Beer Moment – The Sessions #63
I realise this is a new blog, it hasn’t really found its way yet and I’m blogging about all sorts of crap. Some one reading this blog would probably be thinking to themselves “Not really a beer based blog”, well I thought I’d kick off with the following in my new attempt to blog more […]
