2015 Cheapskate Adventures
07:00I've got a bit of a mission for 2015. Cheapskate Adventures
A big part of my life has been getting outside and going on adventures. In the new year I want to focus on encouraging people to give the outdoors a go.
Here's three good reasons.
Get Fit
For the price of a gym membership for a couple of months you can get a second-hand push bike and start exploring! Why sit on a fake bike watching crap telly when you could be on a real adventure? If you have "a few extra pounds" you should do something about it.
Go somewhere beautiful
Britain is a beautiful country full of rivers, woods, hills, mountains, lakes, craggy coastlines, sandy beaches and islands. I live in Newcastle, a big city, and within an hour of cycling you are out into some fantastic scenery.
It doesn't have to be expensive
If you want to do something a lot then it's best if you can keep costs down. Getting away on a weekend adventure doesn't necessarily require a lot of expensive stuff.
So the plan for 2015 is to write about a short trip each month. I will write two articles. One telling the story of a cheap trip I've been on and a more practical article giving a route description, map, information and tips on how to get out there and how to do it.
