About
Hi! I’m Alex, and if you’re reading this you’ve found my site where I ramble on about all things outdoors. Here you’ll find a variety of posts from location ‘guides’ and walks and hikes, to the realities of life on the road.
I’m solo travelling around the UK at the moment with plans of going further afield on the horizon. This blog is just a hobby of mine – capturing parts of the experience wherever I end up, in hopes of helping or inspiring other travellers. What you won’t find here is any professional writing, photography or any sort of journalism. Everything here is pretty amateur and unpolished, but it’s also very unfiltered and human.
If I’m writing about a place, it’s because I recently visited it in person (or I may even still be there), and all the photos you find throughout my posts are my own. I try my best to make each post as information-packed as possible, and you’ll often find GPX routes (sometimes multiple) for walks in the area that I tend to make up whilst I’m there exploring.
Thanks for dropping by – I hope you can find something of value here!
Start Homesteading
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
