Geocaching trails: Honington and Sapiston Heritage Trail.

The Honington and Sapiston Heritage trail is a rural walk in the suffolk countryside. A picturesque, gentle stroll around the areas of Honington, Sapiston, Fakenham Magna and The Black Bourn.

A damp and drizzly afternoon but after having had a very quiet … Continue reading Geocaching trails: Honington and Sapiston Heritage Trail.

Polar Buff Review

I’ve always been curious about Buffs. Seeming to be the ideal solution to keeping you warm without the bulk of a scarf, however I’ve always resisted at the risk of looking a bit too outdoorsy. I recently had this conversation with my husband. His confused reply; ‘But you are outdoorsy!?’ So yes, whilst I am outdoorsy, I have no desires to become a living, breathing … Continue reading Polar Buff Review
