Documenting Worthwhile Adventures
With the infamous Lands End to John O’Groats (LEJOG) cycling adventure 6-months behind us, (where did the year even go!), and the weather soon gearing up for those keen to take it on, this post is well overdue. Or perhaps made in good time… From the southern-most point of England to the northern-most tip of […]

For those who are chasing a picturesque hike that’s somewhat off the beaten track (yet is (almost) as impressive as the infamous Laguna de los Tres), then the Loma del Pliegue Tumbado trail is for you.

The Passo dello Stelvio. Just wow. Standing high up in the alps at 2758m above sea level, this mountain is among the holy grail of climbs for cyclists across the world. A long and steady ascent with an average gradient of 7%, and impressive landscapes of the Bormio valley from the very moment you roll […]

Bellagio and Lake Como – lifestyles of the rich and famous. With cycling boot camp underway and fresh legs rearing to go, unfortunately we couldn’t make time for an afternoon spritz’ with Mr Clooney (perhaps next time with more notice ;)).
