This post is a simple photo essay of a short autumn trip in the Pyrenees. I found the pictures recently and thought it a shame that none of them were represented on the site, so here they are. It was in early autumn when the … Continue readingPootling in the Pyrenees
I think this is the last of a set of posts catching up on, essentially, all of my previous trips for which I have any photos whatsoever. This one needs a well charged DeLorian as we’re going far back in time to 2018. The trip … Continue readingIcelandic Heat
I’ve taken two trips to Sardinia, which is rare for me. I usually don’t like to go back to a place – but this island has grown close to my heart. It’s rugged as hell, the trails are amazing, the food and hospitality are heard … Continue readingSardinian Sequel
In the Christmas holidays 25/6 Poe was down in the Algarve with James and I decided to head down there. My original plan was to go east, do the TET loop around the Sierra Nevada and head back to James. Effectively shortening the route back … Continue readingTrans-Algarve

With the DR350 down in the south of Portugal it was clear to me that any trip this summer would involve the 650. No way am I heading into the heat like last year. The original plan was to go on a grand northern tour, … Continue readingA Summer Interlude
This is part two of an ongoing project that’s taking me and my DR350 from Germany to Portugal, up to Scotland and back home – mostly following the TET. These are simply the Facebook TET Group posts I have posted along the way – reposted … Continue readingPyrenees and Portugal
The current “project” is a loop from home in Germany through France, across the Pyrenees, down Portugal, back up Spain, into France and around the UK. So far, I have finished the “down Portugal” phase of the operation. I’ve written short updates on the trip … Continue readingFreezing in France
This one was also planned as a slightly longer trip, but sickness and heat got the better of me. Up in the mountains of the southern Balkans I was surviving it, but as the heat increased in the flatlands there was no hope. Then I … Continue readingThe Balkans
