12 Of The Best Bits From 2016 – A Year Of Adventure!

There’s something about this time of year that prompts me to pause and reflect on the previous Twelve months. Whilst I’m not usually one for retrospection, it allows me to remember and appreciate all the things we’ve been able to fit into the year.

Looking back, 2016 has faced us with difficulties and sadness, but on the whole, it’s been fantastic and mostly full of highs. After a difficult few years, being able to look back and feel a sense of happiness and joy rather than sorrow, is a wonderful thing.

We’ve had heaps of amazing opportunities come our way, but we’ve also planned plenty of our own adventues, spending most weekends out and about doing something. As I write this, 2016 is yet to reach a close, so I thought it would be nice to round up 12 highlights from the Camping with Style year.

January 2016

We kicked off the year with a walk up Mam Tor in the Peak District. It didn’t exactly go as planned but it was atmospheric and memorable – See More.

The final walk of the year and one that had been on our list for ages, Dovedale, Ilam & Bunster Hill (where I found no buns and was slighty disappointed), however our stay at Hoe Grange definitely made up for the lack of buns! – See more.
