So another weekend has flown by leaving us only 4 until we leave for Spain. Our departure is now so close its gone beyond scary and is becoming a kind of daunting certainty. – Posted by Justin
Winter camping
February 8th, 2010
Those there are two words that we’ve never really put together. Winter usually equals indoors, warmth and duvets, but to test our new tent and gas cooker, last weekend we spent the night under canvas at Blackberry Woods. – Posted by Emma + Justin
Four days of chores
January 31st, 2010
So another weekend passes us by and at only 52 days to go today departure seems closer than ever. I’m fluctuating between feeling like we are well on top of things to having sudden panic attacks that we don’t yet have everything we need. – Posted by Justin
Travel plans 1.0
January 25th, 2010
Its a romantic notion – we could just get off the ferry and pedal east until we reach the Pacific Ocean. But in doing this we might miss some places we want to visit along the way, hit a few blocked borders and run out of time and money. – Posted by Emma

Thinking big
January 7th, 2010
Justin and I have talked about travelling further by bicycle (and eventually this big cycling trip) for so long I can’t pinpoint the moment we decided we were definitely doing this, when our idea grew up and announced it was packing its bags and leaving. – Posted by Emma

Norfolk Coast + The Broads Cycling
April 13th, 2009Easter weekend we caught the train to Kings Lynn and then cycled following National Cycle Route (NCR) 1 across to Wighton with a detour to Holkham Hall and Wells-Next-The-Sea for bext fish n chips. From Wighton Regional Cycle Route (RCR) 30 to Cromer. The next day we cycled down the coast again on RCR 30 to Hemsbey then followed our noses inland to Coltishall. Day three saw us return across country lanes to Kings Lynn. All up 300km or so not a bad longish ride for the first of the year and nice to stretch the legs a little beyond the daily commute. See map after the link for route details and photos. [read more...]
