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
This is simply a dump of all the photos I still have from this trip, now ten years ago. It was not a great idea to head into the Sahara two up in summer. But the school summer holidays defined the timeslot. It was hot … Continue readingMorocco 2015 – A Photo Essay
2018 and 19 were something of a machine gun. In 18 it was Hellas Rally then shortly afterwards I was off to Iceland. Obviously back in my IT days I must have been paid a little more than I am now as a teacher. Hectic … Continue readingSouth America 2019 – A Photo Essay
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

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

It’s been a while. Last post in January 2021, which wasn’t even a real post. Three big trips and a couple little ones between then and now. I’ve changed profession, I’m a motorcycle electrician now. That surely deserves a post. I started writing something about … Continue readingNicked
This is the precursor to the post “Nicked” which until recently was the most current post here. The trip itself was wonderful and deserves it’s own record, so here it is. Lots of fine memories have come up as I pulled the text and photos … Continue readingTransitalia and Friends
