Read about my recent trips - usually solo hiking or cycling trips in the UK or France. There will be photos, maps and helpful suggestions for those looking to do something similar. If you have any questions, please find my contact info at the bottom of the page. Thanks :)
I'm currently backdating posts to build up the blog and share more stories. Photos will vary in quality from trip to trip depending on what camera I brought (if any!) Please let me know if you have any technical difficulties using the site.
