Going solo, I mean solar – Update

In a previous post we talked about going solo… I mean solar, where we introduced the latest addition to our camping kit – the HardKorr solar panels. Just over 12 months later and its time for another review of the HardKorr solar mat. These panels are awesome for anyone with a space issue. There is […]

Pumba upgrade Smittybilt SRC roofrack

Our TJ wrangler (Pumba) has been in major need of a space capacity upgrade. Everyone who sees us pull up to camp can’t believe we manage to fit all our camp gear inside the TJ. To be honest our camping luxuries come at the cost of space for the dogs so this upgrade was for […]

Seven days in India – Mumbai

Our latest trip took us to India for seven days. This was a work trip with a little time in between to relax with some much appreciated down time in Delhi. We started our trip with a night in Mumbai. We didn’t have much time in Mumbai so rather than spending our time fighting traffic […]

Bigriggen Park Rathdowney

Camping Kit

Camping has become our new obsession.  We just love getting away from the daily grind and taking it easy.  Just because we are camping doesn’t mean we  have to rough it.  We are slowly (or at least impatiently) building up our camping kit – here it is so far. Getting around is made possible by […]

First time skiers guide – Banff Canada

So the idea of skiing is exciting but once you start to consider all the things you need to go skiing, as a first timer things start to get a little daunting. Lift passes, ski hire, clothing – it can all seem a bit much (or at least it did for us). So after our […]
