Where has the time gone?

It's hard to believe it's been 6 years since we've updated this blog. 

A lot has happened in the time - I moved to Spain and Bob grew a massive beard. For various reasons - being extremely busy, actually living in the countryside now and not having my upside-down-headed camping partner here with me to name but a few - I haven't really been into the wilds much despite a wealth of places to explore. 

In regards to the latter, however, I now have a Bob-alternative in the form of the full-head-of-hair sporting Janine, and after a year of procrastinating we finally got out for our first over-nighter a week ago. We didn't travel too far, so as to break ourselves back in gently, and I didn't get any photos unfortunately so I won't be doing a blog post on the trip, but I'm now back in the groove as it were and hopefully it will be the first of many.

Being in Spain has its own set of pros and cons; the (generally) reliable weather allows for travelling light, but the summer fire ban presents its own hurdles in relation to cooking, so I'm currently working on solutions to that - which will inevitably involve new gear and a re-think on my pack. The plus side to that is I'll be able to post some more gear reviews soon.

I'm very much looking forward to many a trip from here on in, and a resurrection of this most excellent blog!

New Features Added/Removed

We've removed the search bar because it didn't work properly, and added a list of all the label terms to the right-hand navigation pane, so you can use these to search for posts instead.

Our top three most popular posts can now be seen in the right-hand pane. 

We've also added RSS subscription options to the right-hand pane, if that's your cup of tea.

The navigation bar has been removed from the head of the page as it seemed to serve little purpose.

New Links Page Added

We've just added a new links page to the blog- look to the far right on the top menu bar.

There are a few links in there already, with more to follow over time. This is collection of FREE resources, not links to manufacturers/ retailers or other commercial enterprises. Check them out.

No News Is Good News?

We don't really have any news, other than to state the obvious that a mere two weeks after first discussing the idea of starting a blog, we've actually got it up and running. Anyone who knows us will understand what an achievement that actually is. 

And without resting on our laurels, the first "proper" post has been published- a tent review, with hopefully many more to follow.

Maybe someone will read this and find it useful, interesting or informative, maybe not. At least it keeps us occupied.
