A weekend over the county border in sunny Weymouth. Walked along the coast path to Bowleaze, and walked back on the pebble beach, observing the beach cusps. #walking #dorset #weymouth #jurassiccoast
Brownsham and Windbury Head to see the bluebells (and Blackchurch Rock in the distance) #walking #devon #bluebell #bluebellwoods
Not quite today, maybe next time as I want to explore more of South Devon.
Spectacular landscape. And even more fascinating to experience and see as Spring is progressing. A place to add to my UK to visit list!!
Earlier this week, my partner and I visited Chulmleigh in North Devon and went for a walk around the area. Walking vlogging journey continues... #walking #devon #vlog #travel #travelvlog #walkingvlog #hiking
Beetle and plant spotting along the South West Coast Path. The clouds rolled in and it was misty and rainy so decided to alter my view to the smaller details. #walking #devon #swcp #saunton #croyde #nature
Tuesday walking in and around the village of Chulmleigh, North Devon. #walking #devon #northdevon #hiking #river
An Easter Monday walk through Melbury Plantation/ Melbury Woods, North Devon (Forestry England) #walking #devon #northdevon #woodlandwalk
A walk around Dunster, taking in Gallox Bridge and the spectacular Tall Trees Trail which includes the tallest tree in England #walking #walks #somerset #exmoor
A different take on the brown tourist/cultural interest road sign. The UK went down a pictogram route while France explored artistic detail. Some of the French examples are brilliant.
Walk 2: Croyde and Saunton Down
A recent weekend walk in North Devon taking in country tracks, the coastal path and stunning views across the rugged Croyde Bay/Saunton coastline. #walking #devon #northdevon #southwestcoastpath #coastalgeography #blogging #writing
Thank you, I'll keep you posted. I managed 8 years in teaching but its just not something I desire to keep on doing, so I figured, being in my early 30s, why not see what else is out there?
Thank you for that kind offer. Its good to hear that others have made this change too. I am currently in the stage of applying for lots of different lines of work, while also being contract bound until the end of the summer term. It's a bit of an 'in-between' time at the moment!
I'm embarking on a career change away from teaching. Its exciting and scary at the same time - the mixture of emotions of having demostrated lots of skills, but also feeling that I don't quite fit into another role... plenty of thinking to do over the coming weeks and months. #teaching #jobs
Walk 1: Tarka Line Walks – Barnstaple Walk 1 – ‘The Banks of the Taw’
And now to pick up where I left off with Everyday Geography. Here it is then. My first documented walk - this walk took place in the Autumn of 2025. I figured it would be best to start local and make use of Peter Craske's Tarka…
Saturday walk through the Blue Hills Mine landscape at Trevellas Coombe near St Agnes, Cornwall #walking #cornwall
"Lack of access to nature has crucial implications for physical and mental health. Recent studies show that living near parks or natural green spaces reduces anxiety and depression by about 20%."

I've been thinking more and more about reading lately, coupled with a feeling I should be reading more. This is an excellent podcast that goes beyond the title and explores how morally and societally reading trends follow factors like empathy, democracy, and ideas generation. Well worth a listen.
Half term trip to Birmingham. Plenty to see and do for free. Plenty of steps walked too. #walking #birmingham
Took advantage of the sunshine and walked to Mouthmill Beach and the along the South West Coast Path past Gallantry Bower, a scrub coastal heathland with a Bronze Age Bowl Barrrow mound. #walking #Devon #swcp
First (non-fiction) book of the new year. A handful of pages in and already Oppenheimer is interweaving geological, anthropological, social, historical and scientific threads together to create this rich text. Maybe this will change my mind on volcanoes! #reading #geography
Hoping that this in my book of seasonal soups that I got for Christmas will finally help bring an end to my cold and illness!
Alicante, Spain in December.
Time to capture those storm hydrographs www.gaugemap.co.uk
Rainy Eden Project visit from earlier today. #cornwall
Finally a good coastal walk on a Saturday since moving house. This beats DIY for sure! Croyde Bay towards Baggy Point. #northdevon #devon #walking
I seriously underestimated the levels of tiredness involved moving into a ‘doer upper’ house at the start of the new school year…
