I've been fortunate enough to go hiking quite a bit this Summer, certainly more than I usually do, and I've loved it. One of my favourite hikes was to Murphy's Point in Canyonlands, it was an easy 3.6 mile hike but we had it completely to ourselves! After arriving in...
'Are you awake?' 'Yes, you?' 'Er, obviously' It's 4am and the jet lag has hit my Mum and I hard. We're in a small B&B in Moab, Utah and we're sharing a bathroom - apparently it wouldn't be very friendly to start using the power shower to wash my hair. Instead, I...
