Trial By Rain


Trial By Rain

At least our first day was sunny ,as we wobbled off on our heavily laden bikes with waves from Andi and Mark. Cat and Graham accompanied us as an honour guard to Richmond Park with Graham acting as our own personal paparazzi. From Richmond we detoured to Bushy Park for tea and biscuits with Julie and Will. Then with the sun still shining and our heads filled with farewells we cycled towards Liphook our rough half way point between London and Southampton. – Posted by Justin

England By Numbers


England By Numbers

It already feels like a long time since we left London. As we sail across the channel and down to Santander, we thought we’d give you some easy to digest stats from our first 4 days from London to Portsmouth. – Posted by Emma + Justin

Blogging From The Road


Lands End to John OGroats

This is a technical blog post about the software and process we use for updating the Rolling Tales website while we are travelling. I have found a solution that allows us to compile our blog posts and website updates while offline and then with very few actions publish the changes when we reach our next access point. – Posted by Justin

Last Drinks, First Pack


London Photo

So our day of departure creeps ever closer and this weekends leaving drinks really forced the fact home that we don’t have long left in London. After years of attending other peoples leaving drinks Emma and I agreed it felt strange to be saying goodbye to people when its us that are leaving. – Posted by Justin

London Goodbyes


Goodbye London

As time rushes towards our leaving date, London’s vibrancy and life almost floors me like it did when I was a newcomer. A few weeks ago I found myself walking across Blackfriars Bridge snapping pictures of graffiti on my old film camera. My hands freeze but the riverside, with its unique mash of architecture crowding behind it, still absorbs me. – Posted by Emma
