    Evening Slates

    This week there has been a lot of time spent here, living inside excel spreadsheets, programming apps and general expedition paperwork! Not my usual environment but a necessary one every now and then. Fuelled mostly by a lot of coffee as I’ve moved between various offices and meetings. Clare and I did get a few… Read more

  • Another day, another bike, another country…

    Unpacked a car full of bags of clothes, equipment and dirty washing, from the last few weeks of summer travels. Loddington, Somerset, Bristol, Cornwall, Manchester, Copenhagen, all had a separate bag and bundle of stuff to be sorted!

Brews and breakfast were carefully consumed inside the shelter of the tent before we set off at around… Read more

    Cycle Touring in Denmark – Asserbo to Lammefjorden

    There was a certain amount of reluctance to leave the luxury of the cosy cabin this morning. Especially after the host texted to say we didn’t need to check out until 2pm! Hot showers and morning coffee were followed by a breakfast of eggs on bread, but with the risky excitement of ‘boiling’ them in… Read more
