Views from the Summerhouse

Ever thought about cycling?

In this week’s episode,  again recorded before the November lockdown,  we discuss how we started with cycling, the benefits,  how to find a group that suits you and which are the best local cafes for when out on a bike ride.  We also talk about e bikes and how you can give cycling a go if you are a very nervous beginner.

If you are wondering how to make the most of your free time in Cornwall this might be the Podcast for you.

This week we introduce ourselves,  Tiggy, Susie and Ann (with Pete our sound engineer)  in our summerhouse just outside Liskeard in Cornwall.

We talk about the purpose of our podcast over the coming weeks – to share the huge range of adventures in Cornwall available to women no longer held back by work, both those that we have already tried and those that our guests can tell us about.  We hope to cover everything from yoga, through growing vegetables to sky diving, gig racing and swimming off our beautiful coastline.  We have found the range of activities available to us incredibly exciting and we hope to be able to share some of that excitement with you.

Huge apologies that our podcast recorded from our summerhouse before the November lockdown,  sounds as if it has been recorded at the coast! This is in fact the wind outside because, in order to be Covid safe, the summerhouse has no walls.  We are so sorry if this interferes with your listening.
