Having attended Geronimo Festival the last 2 years and camping for the first time last year I was looking forward to going with Lucas being older this time.

A couple of weeks ago, my friend and I went to Ninja Adventure in Preston. I’m not really sure why we decided to go as we aren’t particularly sporty people but when invited* it’s rude to decline and it’s a great opportunity to try something new. We went axe throwing a couple of months ago! […] Read more…
