		<title>Shop Till You Drop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At this time of year I turn to recommending products that I have used through the year and make suggestions, or what are known as unsubtle hints to my family for products I would quite like for Xmas.
So lets start with the best way to read a book in a tent, if I didn&#8217;t have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Coastal Cycle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It started off as an idea to cycle from Newcastle central station to Berwick-upon Tweed railway station up the coast, and it turned out there was a coast and castle cycle route already so I bought the guidebook, which I then lost somewhere in my library, and 2 maps both of which had slightly different [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Boat That Cutter Rocked</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seemed straightforward &#8211; crewing for a yacht being taken down the coast for winter from Oban to Rhu, near Helensburgh requiring traversing the Crinan Canal. It was all going to be new and exciting &#8211; especially as it was November outwith any sailing season. What could go wrong? It was going to be Three [...]]]></description>

		<title>January Two Thousand and a Eleven</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It is now the start of February and I am finally putting fingers to keyboard to reflect on this year so far. I have been tardy with my blog for the simple reason that I live on twitter now @jailhouserock and twitter takes less time out of any busy day to simply rattle off a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bonnie Banks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dusting off my Orange bike I decided that since I remember it is all downhill to my archery night at Kirknewton and that Kim will pick me up later I shall go for a spin. Well it turned out remembering hills in a car and actually doing them on a bike are two very different [...]]]></description>

		<title>High Cup Nick</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Archery ended on Thursday night with me missing the target and splitting the wooden surround, followed by hitting the inner gold so they didn&#8217;t ask me to leave immediately, followed by being presented with my certificate of completing the 6 week course with the advice that this allowed me to join any archery club and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windy Weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Having survived another archery evening, where I assembled the bow and added a sight which gave me such improved accuracy I managed to hit the wrong target with one shot &#8211; the danger however was far more in my driving where on an unfamiliar road I went steaming across a crossroad without realising it was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Island On An Edge &#8211; St Kilda</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With a gunman running amok in North Northumberland, together with the police not too sure where he was and with me living not too far from the Border I decided to tell Kim to lock the doors and I headed to the Outer Hebrides with a kayak on the roof, making sure not to pick [...]]]></description>

		<title>Farne Adventure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ollie Jay runs an adventure company in Northumberland, a TV star he had resuscitated Robson Green after his Lindisfarne wild swim and appeared on Countryfile taking the farming guy kayaking to Inner Farne.

		<title>Here There Be Dragons</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We weren&#8217;t going to see dragons in Wales we were going to see Peregrine Falcons, but they are possibly the closest thing to a perfect fast killing machine. In any event we left early to breakfast at T Bay on the M6, lunching at the Crooked House Inn further south in the Black Country &#8211; [...]]]></description>
