Cheddar Gorge is located in the Medip Hills, near the village of Cheddar. Its the UK's largest gorge and has some incredible views both from the top and bottom. Mitch didn't want his photo taken, can you tell? He he You're probably thinking you've heard of Cheddar before? Yup, Cheddar cheese is from Cheddar! It... Continue Reading →
Lizard Point, Cornwall
This is the second part to my previous post, which you can read all about here. After a lovely night in our sheppards hut in Looe, we were back on the bike and headed along the coast to Lizard Point. Our Harley Lizard Point is the most southern part of the UK. A popular walking... Continue Reading →
The Ships’ Graveyard, Purton
I hope everyone is staying safe and looking after each other at this crazy time. At the moment, the UK is social distancing, not isolating unless you are showing symptoms. Our pubs, clubs, cafes, restaurants etc were closed on Friday. We have yet to go into lock down but the way things are going, I... Continue Reading →
The abandoned Nazi Bunkers of Dunkirk
After our stay in Brussels we were on our way to Calais. The next morning we were getting the ferry back to England and sadly completing the last leg of our trip. We had an amazing time but the next trip will definitely be longer and further! On the way to Calais, we stopped to... Continue Reading →
A rainy day in Amsterdam
As we've got some time off work and having recently bought a Harley Davidson, we decided we'd ride to Amsterdam. From Bristol, it takes just over eight hours. We were going to break this up into two, but as rain was forecast all day on Wednesday, we rode all the way there. I'm glad we... Continue Reading →
Bee Shelter and St. Mary’s Church, Hartpury
I love riding my motorbike through the countryside. Especially when the roads take you to hidden gems like these. I've passed the sign for the Bee Shelter countless of times but never actually looked into it. I assumed it was a conservation area or something like that, but it's actually a historic site of listed... Continue Reading →
Weston beach race
For the 36th year, Weston Super Mare underwent a massive transformation from the usual sancastles, donkey rides and ice creams to a huge endurance track. Over 1000 entries and only one winner, this was an intense race and a tiring one for those competing. At 1:30pm the engines start and so does the excitement of... Continue Reading →
Pai Canyon
I love Pai! I came to here two years ago whilst on a tour but only stayed for a few days. It was during rainy season back then, so it’s great to see Pai in the sunlight and not have to carry an umbrella. A quiet mountain town, Pai definitely has its own feel and... Continue Reading →
Echo beach and bike browsing in Deus, Canggu
Echo beach is one of my favourites in Bali. Located in Canggu, it's very easy to get to, great for surfing (although I just watch) and not overly crowded... oh and there are dogs everywhere. The sand here is a beautiful grey colour. I know the words beautiful and grey don't usually go together, it's... Continue Reading →
Our last stop, Hanoi
I'll start off by saying, getting there was not easy.If Google Maps tells you you're good to drive down a road, there's a 75% chance you're not. This has happened to us quite a few times on our trip. Also, every now and then we glanced at the map only to see that the road... Continue Reading →
Hue to Dong Hoi to Vinh
A few posts back I said that Vietnam's roads aren't as bad as what I thought they were... I take it back. The roads are absolutely mental. If you look closely at the photo above, you'll see there are actually piglets in those baskets. I did get a closer image but I deleted it because... Continue Reading →
Hoi An and the full moon lantern festival
Hoi An is with out a doubt my favourite town in Vietnam. It will most likely stay my favourite town too as it's going to be a hard one to beat. We arrived in Hoi An after a terrible thunderstorm. It was like the sky was caving in. We were soaked through and feeling pretty... Continue Reading →
Dalat to Sông Cầu – goats on the roads and no room at the inn
The further north we travel, the prettier Vietnam seems to get. We left Dalat in the rain and luckily seemed to drive out of it. Our ponchos were used for only two hours that day which is a new record. We decided to take the coastal road instead of the mountains as it seemed a bit... Continue Reading →
Đồng Nai to Dalat – Our first cupping experience and the best coffee ever
Our stay at the Bamboo Lodge in Đồng Nai was lovely. It was so comfortable and peaceful I didn't want to leave. After a big cup of the best coffee in world and a cuddle from the kitten, we were heading off to Dalat.The mountain roads of Vietnam are so picturesque I couldn't quite believe... Continue Reading →
Ho Chi Minh to Đồng Nai – acquiring motorbikes and trying the local cuisine
I may take this back this back at some point... but Vietnam is not as terrifying as what I thought it would be. After watching Top Gear in Vietnam I was a little skeptic about the trip. Of course the roads here are absolutely wild, but I can honestly say that they are no where... Continue Reading →
