When LittleStuff learned to make a fire. Bushcraft skills with Cwm Tawel #BridgendBites
The last of our activities in our packed few days in BridgeEnd was a morning of Bushcraft skills with the amazing Sasha at CwmTawel, a luxury Yurt and Tipi camping site near Bridgend in the beautiful Llynfi Valley. Of course, we weren’t there to try out the yurts (sadly… we did have a good nosy though, and have promised the children we will return and camp properly; it was the first time we’d actually been inside...
When LittleStuff went Quad Biking in Wales. And got Muddy. #BridgendBites
When BridgendBites suggested we might try Quad biking during our trip, the house might have echoed with a teeny bit of cheering. Too right we would! So we headed off to Adventures Wales in Porthcawl (very close to Cardiff, just a bit further West along the Welsh coast if your brain can’t place it) – and this time all six of us were signed up to join in. I mean, come on. It’s Quad Biking! There was a little...
Porthcawl Surf School Review – Kids Surfing in Rest Bay.

No, I think not, thankseverso though. So, after a fabulous morning...
The Keepers of Bryngarw – #BridgendBites
Our recent trip to Bridgend started off with a visit to Bryngarw Country Park, and a sneaky peek at their coming attraction for this year, the ‘Keepers of Bryngarw’. I’ll be honest – the children weren’t over-excited. Let’s be honest – a walk in the woods couldn’t really compare to quad biking, could it? But I was looking forward to it, and the dog could join in this one, so I gave them...
Knoll Lodge, nr Fort William – our Scottish Road Trip Stopover
Following the perfect week at Fisherman’s Cottage, Dora the Caravelle wound her way all the way across the great glen for a couple of nights just outside Fort William for a stopover to explore the West Coast of the Highlands. Our host for the couple of nights was Knoll Lodge – actually in Spean Bridge, around 7 miles from Fort William. Finding it is easy – it’s right on the A82 – and although we arrived...
