Today we'd be heading to the ฤฆal Saflieni Hypogeum and we figured we'd get a bus to save us dicking around with parking. As we loitered outside waiting for it to open, periodically wiping the grit from our eyes that the brutal fucking winds sweeping across the island kept depositing in there, Tarrant asked, "What [...]
We chose Malta before we researched it on account of it being really fucking tiny. Seriously, you could stand on one side and spit to the other. I mean, don't, because that would be gross. But you could. We wanted an entire country that we could potentially see in a week and given that the [...]
We were going to spend our last two nights in Wales with a friend of mine, Rhi, and their wife so we duly packed up camp and started to make our way to Cardiff, but if you're going to spend any length of time in south Wales you should probably check out Big Pit National [...]
We had such big plans for Brecon Beacons. Tarrant worked out a huge circular walk taking in the beautiful rolling hills that'd take most, if not all, of the day given my penchant for sitting down. But you know what scuppers hiking plans? Apart from sheer laziness? Weather. The fucking weather scuppers hiking plans but [...]
I've been dying to explore Hay-on-Wye, the second hand book capital of probably the galaxy, because I fucking love books. I love how they smell and how they feel, and if I can get hold of a book I really enjoy I can smash it out in a day which doesn't bode well when you're [...]
We were way more prepared this morning than the last time we moved campsites, having packed up most of our shit the previous night like ultra efficient packing machines. It wasn't pissing rain either which helped massively with the whole not killing each other thing. Once we were packed we had a little stroll around [...]
It was, like, 9.30am when we did a dodgy looking slow drive past Caffle Brewery. We pulled over and shuffled up to the wall, peering over it, looking for signs of life in the large, stone house which looked like it could have been a school at one point. We were wondering if we should [...]
Whilst we were sat in The Old Mill yesterday chucking a Waen Beer each down our necks we called up Celtic Quest Coasteering and booked ourselves in for a couple of hours frolicking in waves because we weren't piss wet through and cold enough already. As it turned out though the weather wasn't that bad [...]
I rank taking a tent down in the rain as one of the most miserable things you can do that don't involve running out of tea. I woke up a few times in the night and heard the rain belting down on the tent which meant my brain demanded I had to lie awake for [...]
On account of our unparalleled skills for getting lost even with a satnav we left the campsite stupidly early to get to the Llechwedd Slate Caverns to take advantage of their 20% discount offer if you went on a tour before 10am. "Llechwedd" contains three consecutive sounds across two syllables that make a non-Welsh speaker [...]
