Another Sunday outing involving a walk, a pub, and a beer or 2. So where did we go and what's the story? Not far from Exeter in Devon, UK there's a cool little town by the name of Topsham and a very popular

Source This year saw the third instalment of the now yearly extravaganza of the Sidmouth Jazz Festival. So what is it a

Talking of folking it up yesterday, here's a look back to something more jazzy that took place on the end of May bank holiday of this year… My home town of Sidmouth started a jazz festival at this time

Participants running through the streets of Beer Quick pit-stop for one of the runners at the Fountain Head pub! That be me! And some runners to the right, making their way down to Branscombe Branscombe

Some more scenic action from around East Devon, today a little look from the hills to my home town… Sidmouth isn't a well know town in the general sense but it does have the famous Folk Festival each year

Saturday saw the latest edition of the food and families festival in Ottery St. Mary, East Devon. So I went along for a

I’m currently in Devon in the south-west of England sampling the delights of my home county until the end of the month.

First Actifit post for a while. I actually planned to post my activity after a walk on Monday but forgot... plus I had a few issues with the count which I'll come to in a minute. So today's was the exact

Bit more of a beast today. It was going to be one of my regular walks over to a nearby village and back and would have been around the 11-12k range, but I took a bit of a detour! It all started with some

First walk in a week or so today. Good little stroll, if nothing spectacular - one of my classics of recent times. Still in Devon but should be heading to Tenerife again next month. A little different

Nice little round trip meander to a nearby village. Not a big walk but a pleasant Sunday stroll to keep things ticking... and the first pint in a pub for a while! That reminds me, is Beer Saturday still

First walk in a week today... what with some dodgy weather, plus I tweaked my back on Saturday so have been taking it easy. Shorter than my usual but nonetheless a good ol' stretch! This report was published

A more chilled out affair today. Bit shorter walk and a relaxed pace on a hotter day. I took some slight detours to my usual through the woods and took some time to take it all in, rather than the faster

Another day, another walk... A repeat of Sunday's route but the other way round and probably even tougher as a little warmer and I kept up a good pace (just over 2.5 hours). Plenty of variety of terrain

Monday stroll around the Devon countryside... A slightly different walk to my current 'usual' route. I did do this about a week ago but this time I went in the opposite direction, which I like to do to

Back on it after a few days off due to weather and other things going on. This was similar to some of the walks from last week but added a section on so is a bit longer. I was curious to see if a road

Today I took a different route to mix things up and keep it fresh! A shorter walk than the last few (had to take the scenic route round the block to boost it over 10k ;)) but some good uphill sections

I was going to mix it up a bit with the route today... but ended up doing the same circuit as the last couple of walks, in the opposite direction to yesterday. Although there seems to be a few more steps

Today's effort meandering through the Devon countryside... Exactly the same route as the other day but in the opposite direction. This time I knew where I was heading so I powered through it fairly quickly.

Out and about in the Devon countryside once again, getting me steps in! Same (or very similar) walk to 2 days ago but in the opposite direction. Another 2hr+ 11k+ rock stomper. Perhaps a bit longer and
