    Mountain biking locally every other day in a sunny spring is great. The kids like to be stuck indoors during this lockdown, so it’s even harder getting them out than usual. Annabel loves her mountain bike though so maybe now is the time to start practising some trail skills? Also, a meteor shower.

    Like everyone else, we’re at home, indoors, for 23 out of 24 hours a day. But we can still run from home, cycle from home, and strength train at home to try to stay healthy, mentally and physically. So what’s going on? What else can we do at home?

    The weekend before the UK gets locked down we get out to a huge empty beach and sit in the sea alone, surrounded by nothing. Except mushy waves. And Kim goes metal detecting.

    It has been a bit of a week, this week, so let’s go for a run, chill out a bit, and reflect on what’s going on right now.

    A running vlog talking about mental health, confidence and state of mind as much as anything else. And we do get some climbing in this week, although this tide seems to have other ideas. I need to spend more time outdoors.

    The weather is off and on and we need a bit of adventure, so we’re going to try and nab a rock climb outdoors at Rhossili before the rain hits. It’s all very grey.
