This was of the nicest couple of days ever since getting to Sweden. I was cycling down the east coast from around Ahus south. If you are looking to go cycling with little effort and amazing places to picnic and take lazy afternoon naps on the beach, then this is the place for you. The towns … Continue reading
Now im not one that looks particularly great in lycra but I had endured it so far on the bike tour. Pulling and tugging at it to get it on after taking a shower – feels like im putting on a wetsuit and then the heat has caused some reaction with my skin and … Continue reading
Today I left the north-west of Sweden and headed south to catch up with an old friend. The distance was too much to cover before she left the east coast and headed up to North north, so I bused and trained it there – can’t say it was a nice experience but the public transport works good over here and … Continue reading
Leaving Hamburgsund early, I set off to make my way to get as close to Goteborg as possible and was then due to head south to meet up with an old friend. The towns and roads were all very similar – lots of flat arable land. Lots of Gallerias – creative people open up their houses or small … Continue reading

The weather was sunny and the places … Continue reading

Have been reading a very good book whilst in Norway called the ‘Mornings in Jenin’. It got me sucked in so much that even when I ride I think about it. The book is not something that will make you laugh but it will grab your emotions and grant a place in your heart to remember … Continue reading
Another hot day in Norway and with mid summer approaching the daylight was endless. After 2 days holidaying it up in Lillesand I cycled on up to Arendal where I spent the evening on the beautiful island of Hove. This was the last day I was to spend in Norway as I was heading over … Continue reading
Just a short ride this day as the weather was perfect, amazing, incrediable, hot hot hot – wild swimming for everyone!!!! It was heaven. The ride was great too. I packed up early to get away from the busy busy of Kristiansand then followed the coastal route around to Som and Hellesund up to Lillesand. … Continue reading
Cycling down the Setesdal Valley was flat the majority of the way and it was a nice ride too. The rain came down heavy as I was leaving the campsite until the evening, of which I thought for my own sanity it was best to stay somewhere warm for the night. I arrived in Evje and … Continue reading
