Over the years, I’ve not spent much time off the grid. In Malaysia we spent a fair bit of time checking up on the next stages of our trip, which meant that we were checking emails and the like. In Marrakesh we had a communal laptop in the courtyard of the riad which we checked in on. In fact, I can’t remember when I didn’t check emails for more than a day or two.

Until this past weekend. When TLW & I met up with a few old friends and headed to a part of the world without phone reception and where the internet isn’t a known thing.

Yes, we headed to Derbyshire.

Several days were then spent walking up and down hills, drinking heavily, watching sport (Boooooooo! all round on that front) and sleeping like logs.

I like.
