Fitting in a quick post as I’m not going to have much time over the next week or so as I’m off my next adventure soon! We recently said cheerio to one of our team, today’s image is of his ‘celebration’ drinks at the pub. He said he didn’t want leaving drinks, so I calledContinue reading “Today’s thoughts… 10 June 2024”

Today’s thoughts… 22 May 2024
Having not posted much in March and April (due to being really busy!), I have a number of blog posts in the wings. I’ve been meaning to chat about another of my ‘hobbies’ which emerged out of lockdown. I probably shouldn’t say it, but I know that others had similar feelings, that when lockdown startedContinue reading “Today’s thoughts… 22 May 2024”
Retrospective thoughts… 7 Mar 2024
A long gap since my last post as I’ve been preoccupied with a busy time at work, and my second trip of the year! I am continuing in chronological order, hence there will be a series of ‘Retrospective’ posts until I catch up… Last night was the final wild camp and even though the massiveContinue reading “Retrospective thoughts… 7 Mar 2024”
Today’s thoughts… 6 Mar 2024
After a more comfortable night’s sleep we got ready for the 15km or so hike to our final night of wild camping. Today we had a few sites to visit, starting with another rock bridge called Um Fruth which is the bridge you will see if you go on a day jeep tour. Luckily forContinue reading “Today’s thoughts… 6 Mar 2024”

After a cold night (note to self to wear at least 3 layers and a hat) and breakfast – boiled eggs, pitta bread and rehydrated yoghurt which was yummy mixed with fig jam 😊 – we set off on a scramble. I’ve never really done scrambling before and this one was quite challenging for aContinue reading “Today’s thoughts… 5 Mar 2024”
Today’s thoughts… 4 Mar 2024 (part 2)
One of the reasons I decided to do this trek, as opposed to going on a ‘highlights of Jordan’ tour is that I really wanted to spend time in the landscape and interact with the local people. Our desert team have been brilliant so far, waiting for us in a shady canyon for elevenses –Continue reading “Today’s thoughts… 4 Mar 2024 (part 2)”
Today’s thoughts… 4 Mar 2024 (part 1)
Sunrise… the dawn of a beautiful day in the desert. A moment of calm before the start of a long hike in the rugged landscape of Wadi Rum. I’m really not a morning person and love my lay-ins but when there is a landscape as amazing as this outside your door, getting up early andContinue reading “Today’s thoughts… 4 Mar 2024 (part 1)”
Today’s thoughts… 3 Mar 2024
My first adventure of the year is finally here! Arrived safely last night and after a few hours sleep I met my fellow Exodus Travels companions and guide, and then we were off to the Wadi Rum to start a five-day trek. Wadi Rum is a protected area of desert, featuring rock mountains known asContinue reading “Today’s thoughts… 3 Mar 2024”

I am excited to bring you today’s blog as there is only three days left until my first trip of the year! I leave on Saturday to fly to Amman in Jordan and on Sunday will start a trek through Wadi Rum, wild camping at night, finishing in Petra next Friday. For any would-be burglars:Continue reading “Today’s thoughts… 27 Feb 2024”
Today’s thoughts… 18 Feb 2024
A bit behind with my blog as last week I was baking a special cake, which will be revealed in my next post! Today I’m sharing my thoughts about last weekend when I went to visit my younger niece, Emily. She is the one I am doing the fitness challenge with, and it was greatContinue reading “Today’s thoughts… 18 Feb 2024”
