Travels and Adventures of an Ent on a Motorcycle
So I ended up staying longer than the 1 night I initially planned at the Hostel in Durres, I stayed for 3. It's the first time on the trip I've stayed still too, not counting Benidorm which was very much planned. I knew about an hour after I arrived I wanted to stay at least … Continue reading Day 25, 26 & 27 – Recharge & Saranda
I started Day 22 pretty well, riding down the Coast away from Split toward Dubrovnik. Then about 2 hours into the ride my music suddenly stopped with a crackle and my "shutdown" sound played from my phone. Odd, I had loads of battery. I pulled over to check it and my phone was soaked from … Continue reading Day 22, 23 & 24 – Dubrovnik & Montenegro
I don't know when it was actually official, but I'm pretty sure this is now my longest ever holiday! I can't think of a 3 week holiday I've been on so I'm pretty sure this is my longest time away from the UK. It really doesn't feel like it though, all the riding days sort … Continue reading Ride Report Day 20 & 21
I woke up on day 18 in Cortina d’Ampezzo in my little camping spot. I'd spoke to a group of bikers in town the night before who said "All the hotels are closed, there is one open, only 95 Euro for a double room, you can follow us if you like". A nice offer to … Continue reading Ride Report Day 18 & 19
On the road again, for a slightly longer time this time! After a lovely few days doing nothing but eating good food and drinking beer in Benidorm it was time to get off on the trip proper. The first few days were very weird. My head was all over the place on the first day. … Continue reading Ride Report: Day 12 to 17
Since I started planning, I've been buying things, like, a lot of things. All the things in that picture I did not own before I started planning the trip, except both cameras. It seemed ridiculous to me to be buying so much, but when this is everything I have to live on for the next … Continue reading Intro: The Gear
I've finally actually left! I rode out of home in Nottingham on Sunday Morning. A very boring ride down the M1 to get to West London to stay with some friends for a traditional games day of board games, escape room and Chinese takeaway then off the next morning to the Chunnel. Waking up the … Continue reading Day 1 – 5 France and Spain
It was the three day ride back from Benidorm that sealed it in my head. It was certainly possible to do it, and I was determined to try. I'd had the idea of it germinating in my head for a while, that I could do a bigger ride. The lure of living on the bike … Continue reading Intro: Why am I doing it?
After almost 18 months of planning, saving and dreaming, I've left on my trip. I quit my job, left London, bought a new bike and set off last week. The plan is to ride from the UK to New Zealand, through Turkey, Kazakhstan, China, Pakistan, India, SE Asia and Australia, among other places. I'm riding … Continue reading Intro: WTF Am I Doing
