  • My first full day of Chicago starts here - an early #CrossFit session to while away the jet lag, recover from 9 hours on a plane, and wait for the world to wake up. Kicking things up a notch as they wouldn’t abide the 6lb wall ball. Also got some good tips for chest to bar pull-ups. I will enjoy my Mexican lunch today all the more for it. 😋 #crossfitchicago #crossfitgirls #metcon
  • Embarking on an #adventure of a different kind. Heading Stateside to visit kinship in Chicago. Looking forward to the usual Shawesome hijinks with these folks, plus meeting my nephew, geocaching, and 🤞 a campout with my sister. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #family #familytime #travel #sisters #hijinks #shennanigans #familyfun #apples #appleorchard #orchard
  • Lucky practicing his nav skills. (There is something about his facial expression here that says “f*ck my life!” Something I often feel when practicing nav on featureless terrain 🙄) ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #navigation #orienteering #compass #terrier #terriersofinstagram #terriermix #terriersofig #rescuedog #rescuedogsofinstagram #dogoftheday #adventuredog #breconbeacons #breconbeaconsnationalpark #wales #cymru #visitwales #discovercymru #hikingwales #thewalescollective #hikingwithmydog #dogwalk #hikingwithdogs #ruffwear #osmaps #ordnancesurvey
  • A few pictures from the weekend, exploring the southern area of the Brecon Beacons and using the day to practice navigation. Getting used to adapting my strategies depending on the terrain - a frustrating learning curve. Highlights included the Chartist Cave high on the moors near the summit of Mynydd Llangynidr. The name derives from 1839 when Chartist rebels used the cave to stockpile weapons in advance of their march on Newport. Later that day we met “Rob” (one of just a few people we saw all day and another highlight of the trip) who clued me in to “Britain’s Hidden Histories” Facebook group and website. There’s a lot of history in these parts! A hefty day of learning. Powered by sweet potato and chickpea chilli, wild garlic cornbread, and salsa macha. #breconbeacons #breconbeaconsnationalpark #wales #cymru #visitwales #discovercymru #hikingwales #thewalescollective #hikersuk #thisismyadventure #hiking #getoutside #adventuretime #osmaps #ordnancesurvey #getmountainready #peopleofadventure #ukhikers #thisismyadventure #nature #scenery #landscapes #hillwalking #explore #outdoors #adventure #mountains #peopleofadventure #adventuredog #adventurecouple
  • Getting pleasing results from my sourdough efforts lately. Using a long proofing technique, letting it rest in the fridge for 12-24 hours. This one is 70% wholemeal.
