I love being outdoors but when I had my two kids I found myself so busy being mum it was difficult to fit it all in. Then I discovered the kids love camping and the freedom it gives them, so as they've grown up we're gradually getting back to doing more and more. We love it!

I needed to shift the post baby weight and so in 2014 I have committed to getting fit and getting in shape. I want to learn to surf, as I don't want to be beaten by a 5 year old (although I am sure I will) so that is my mission, and to surf you need to be super fit.

Now our family life revolves around running races, swimming lessons, bike rides, camping, surfing and exploring which we all love.

Summer 2014 is all about jumping in a (borrowed) camper van and heading to France with mountain bikes and surf boards from two weeks of adventure.

I love all these outdoor things but I didn't find anywhere online that reviewed the kit I like, was irreverant and about fun activities rather than serious sport. I work with Emma and together we'd like to make Adventurely that place.
