South Wales was the destination. We had been to the Brecon Beacons previously and this time we were able to visit a few more places. We spent the first two days in the Brecon Beacons, one day spent doing a walk up to Sugarloaf hill covered in Brecon and the next day we did a 14km walk around Llyn y Fan Fach and Fan Fawr reservoirs. So far the weather has been pretty decent!
We then made our way S Read on...
The next morning we set out for our next adventure, climbing Mt Kinabalu! Felix had registered all our details (including evidence of a negative Covid test) and we congregated at the park headquarters together our 3 mountain guides Sai, Edwin and Bonny. As we had to take our overnight gear with us, most of us sent a small amount of gear with porters. And with that we set of to the Timpohon gate th Read on...
(Of eigenlijk eindigen, maar ik had besloten de ongebruikelijke looprichting te doen, omdat ik graag op het strand wilde eindigen na 140 km lopen)
Op goed geluk, nog half slaperig van de rit met de nachtbus, liep ik vanaf het station in oostelijke richting.
Een paar mooie zeilschepen zag ik liggen. De start van de route nog niet. Te weinig voorbereid en uitgezocht om te weten waar ik precies moe Read on...
Another decent walk today - I actually merged two walks from Castleton together (to make FrankenWalk!)
Our trip was almost sabotaged by a collapsed dry stone wall partially blocking the track, but we cleared the stones out of the way then called our landlord to see if they could contact the farmer to make sure the cattle in the field didnt escape through the broken wall.
We set off from Castleto Read on...
The incredible and magical Giants Causeway has awed and astounded millions of tourists over the years with its mystique and uniqueness, but long before it became easy for world travelers to journey to the County Antrim UNESCO World Heritage site, wonder has always surrounded the story of its creation. We know now the true yet still amazing reason for its existence and how the 40,000 interlocking b Read on...
By 6:30am we were out the door. First we had to cross into Sarria proper, over the bridge. We wound our way through the streets, past a couple of churches and some ruins of a castle. We were up above Sarria with a nice view, so we took a photo, and continued on down the trial. We passed through Barbadelo and 7:30 then Rente about 8:30, then found a nice cafe around 9:30 called Mercado de Serra, so Read on...

6th May - I booked two trips today at this unique location and I am glad I did because there was something different to see both times.
We started with our virtual guide Stephan on one of the natural lakes, Stephan had travelled to the village from Amsterdam approx 90 kilometres away and hired a small electric boat (know. as whisper boats). This is one of the most popular ways of seeing the villa Read on...
Up with the lark we left our little parking spot beneath the roman fort and headed back on ourselves towards Carlisle . We had not realised just how far back we had travelled yesterday . So glad we were to find a night parking spot we hadnt given a thought to the fact that we had a 45 minute ride just to get back to Carlisle where we left yesterday .
Our plan today was to drive over the border in Read on...
So at the airport the day before flying staying in a hotel due to having to get a Covid PCR test 72 hours before getting onto the Star Clipper - what a ball ache this is as we do not need to have a test to get into Egypt or our final destination Greece - but hey ho we live in these uncertain times. We will be getting our results within 1 - 3 hours so at least if we are positive we wont get onto ou Read on...
