Since restrictions have been gradually eased up we have been more encouraged to travel outside of borough of Haringay. After visiting Broomfield Park on the No.121 route, we decided to visit Grovelands Park near Southgate Station.
Having photocopied the Southgate Areas map, we took the No.121 bus from Wood Green and got off at Southgate station. Following the map, we found the main road The Bourn Read on...
Anyone else gone wandering in Glasgow and found themselves in the backstreets of Gotham city, USA instead? No? Well it happened to myself and Glyn today, I kid you not.
The alarm went off at 7.30am, and it being a Sunday means only one thing, Im on Wade holiday where I often get up earlier than I would for work so that we can cram in as much as possible until we both pass out exhausted at the end Read on...
So we meet Marianne at her hotel and set off for the start of the walk. The first day we have found the start with no issues or so we thought!! So walking along all we can hear are gun shots and not just one or two but loads and loads. We seemed to be walking towards the gun shots for an hour so we thought that the walk was making us human targets. We decided as there was so many gun shots that it Read on...
Weve taken the trains and the tube a LOT over the past five days, so I thought this quote was appropriate 😀. We take another train early tomorrow morning, from Eastbourne to Gatwick Airport, for our flight to Dubrovnik. We are so excited about going to Croatia!
But first, weve had a pleasant last two days in Eastbourne. Yesterday we had a relaxing day, walking into town with Carol Ann, and doi Read on...
The backstreets reveal some hidden treasures of buildings. Luckily Luxembourg didnt get dismantled too much in WW2.
Were just treading water at the moment. Tim went in to work today. No, seriously, he did, and Sue and I were left to amuse ourselves.
My most important, and task of the day was to mail a license to Switzerland, so a friend of Tims could continue to drive.
The list of handyman chor Read on...
We HAD eagerly set off for our destination, Kaltukatjara (Docker River), where we HAD planned to stay 2 nights.
50km from Yulara and with Kata Tjuka at our backs we photographed the road signs to the WA Border and Kaltukatjara and the road ahead knowing that 95% of the over 1000km to Laverton would be unsealed. The road that we covered today proved to be worse than what we had heard. Bone shaking Read on...
We woke up and gathered our stuff up so that we could head out directly after breakfast. The hotel included breakfast, it started at 7:30, and our ferry reservation was for 10. The dock is around an hour drive from the hotel, and we wanted to get there about an hour early (wed read that if youre not at least 40 min early, you can lose the car reservation).
We decided wed drive a different way tha Read on...
Up at 5:30 and out the door with my my Todd Edwards. Michelle runs every morning (I am so proud of her). It was eerily foggy this morning, but that didnt deter us. As we climbed up to the edge of a ridge, we saw deer in between the trees, including an albino deer that frequents the hills here in Braddock Heights! I got my camera out too late, but will be keeping my eyes open and camera ready for Read on...
It started with finding out that my battery had not charged entirely during the night. My USA battery charger cable requires an adapter to connect to the European electrical outlets. Apparently, the adapter had slid out of the outlet during the night and had stopped the battery from charging. A major issue, but not fatal. We had to stop more frequently to make sure I did not run out of battery.

Het was een leuke dag vandaag, met veel afwisseling en leuke stukken pad. Totale afstand 20.7 km. We zijn weer vroeg opgestaan op de camping vanochtend en dat betekende ook dat we een lekkere temperatuur hadden. We liepen voor een deel ook langs de rivier de Marne zelf en dat was mooi. We waren al om 11:50 uur bij het hotel waar we vanavond slapen, maar helaas was dat helemaal gesloten tot 16:00 u Read on...
