This page has the aim of inspiring people/ families to get out and join the great outdoors. If Orrin can do it, anyone can! I hope to be able to start providing route/ parking/ family friendly information. But please be aware, you need to be mindful of your own safety. Its a good idea to go prepared with a lot of clothing (warm/ waterproof) as weather can change quickly. Also carry some extra batt

Another day, another year of Facial Palsy UK Annual Family Day. Surrounded by the best people and doing the best activities. What a gang to be a part of...every year makes me appreciate our community more (Orrin's thumb twin)
Oz is still FPUK poster boy (flex!)
Activities followed by a little walk round the Reservoir (which included 2 owls being walked, a dog on a bike wearing a cool helmet and a wild deer!) Facial Palsy UK and thanks to Sue & Les at Sayvol

One of our favourite ever (very long) days out. Got sat on the 4th row back and arrived 5 seconds later than other family so we all got sat next to each other in a row of 9. Seated within the winning contestants (spoiler!) family so we were all surrounded by 🎥. Orrin dressed for the occasion, Mum ran out of time to brush her hair in the morning (apologies in advance of Feb 2027 on BBC). Orrin was SO excited saw his sign, pointed and gave him the thumbs up 👍 thought he was going to fall off his seat in excitement of his hero acknowledging him (again no spoilers, but Oz's sign may have been accurate!). Plus Mum got to see Nitro up close...dreams do come true!
Muncaster Castle Parkrun....Orrin's favourite so far! Setting off from home at 6:20am, DJ Orrin in the car playing Harry Styles through to Eminem, honey & mustard sausages, beautiful friendly Parkrun (and showing Mum the way round as he's been there a million times!) and finishing it off with fun on a friends farm 🥰

What a birthday. Celebrating 11 years on the planet with the best ice cream on the planet ( ), Uno in Spoons and his 3rd KFC....all on the tandem with comedy clown horn (honk honk!). Plus Brownie stack courtesy of Mum's Aerospace Engineer colleague/ Brownie God. What. A. Day. (Oh, and he also got his Hogwarts letter...bye kiddo!)
