Sarah invited us to spend the night with Robins

16 February 2021

When Sarah invited us to spend the night with Robin's Shaft, I was taken aback. Once we'd resolved the misunderstanding, we set a date and one night me, Judith, Sarah and Kim headed to Robin's Shaft *Mine*. Here are the good parts of the trip:'œ… Two people saw a sleeping flying marsupial. Shat themselves and […]

Waking up to fresh snow in Scotland never gets old

24 May 2019

That feeling when you wake up and realise it's snowed in the night never gets old. It did make me very glad I'd bought snow chains, had a lot of food with me and wasn't camping! £ An entertaining end to a fab weekend a few months ago now! Originally posted on this post on […]

When I first thought about this, I worried I might lose friends, then I realised it was the right thing.

31 May 2015

"Imagine that money wasn't something you had to worry about – what would you do?" Once you figure out the answer, you're meant to head down the most efficient path there. Working 'to get rich' when you're seeking to 'have a happy family life' may not be the most efficient route for you. It's […]

#TimOnTour Kyrgyzstan 2013 – Exploring Central Asia's lesser known mountains

29 September 2013

What's going on here? I'm on a two week trek, exploring a lesser known part of Kyrgystan, in central Asia. I'm publishing my location (with a Spot device) and that I'm OK, at regular intervals. Where are you right now? Back in the UK. Where did you go? Have a look at this map. What […]

Photojournalism 101: Build your own celltower

23 April 2013

In 2011, I went to the Western Isles of Scotland, to the Isle of Skye and Isle of Rasaay. I recently came across this amusing photo I took in Arnish, Rasaay, where I was camping for the night: I had been trying to maintain an internet connection, via my Nokia N900 phone and Thinkpad x60s […]

#timontour Kungsleden/Abisko – Video Blog

25 October 2012

I recently got back from an epic backpacking adventure in Northern Sweden. It was essentially 12 days of walking through the Swedish mountains, in the Arctic Circle, on my own. Every day (ish) I made a video blog, and whilst I've not finished (not started actually!) processing the mass of photos and video I took, […]

#timontour: Central Fells – 5 Wainrights

8 January 2012

I have known that I really wanted to go camping (as in backpacking) sometime in January for quite a while. Why? Why January, you might reasonably ask. You might point out it's cold, the weather is rubbish and so the mere concept is bordering on crazy. Perhaps I should "go and watch TV instead"… After […]

Bathcamp the Barcamp 2009

22 September 2009

Barcamps are always different. Bathcamp the Barcamp 2009 was no exception. Located 12 miles south of Bath, in the tiny village of Buckland Dinham, Bathcamp had set up camp in the paddock of, The Bell, a classic, old English pub. Billed as a "24-hour+ long series of talks, cud-chewing, beer, pizza…and other things…", the event […]
