Itinerary London to Istanbul
Due to the fact that I will be couchsurfing, I have had to plan where I want to stay each night. The planning is a lot of hassle, but for me the people I meet on the trip are as much of the experience as the actual cycling is. I have found I learn so ...

The end of an era......updated!

Hauling my arse to Snowdon

The perfect cure for a hangover

Bang snap crash

Walking around Aberystwyth
