Vlindersafari Butterfly Farm

We've been to a lot of butterfly farms over the years and most of them have been, frankly underwhelming, with only a handful of species that shy away from human...

Knivsflåfossen

After seven solid days of riding the twisties through Norway's fjordlands, my poor arse was in desperate need of a break. I'd spent the morning hiking to Skageflå, an abandoned...

Stryn Valley

About two thirds of the way into the 200 mile ride from Årdalstangen to Geiranger, I found myself following the Stryn River, winding itself like a snake between snow-capped mountains....

Mount Hoven

About halfway between Årdalstangen and Geiranger, I parked the bike up in the small town of Loen and caught the Sky Lift to the top of Mount Hoven. The views...

Stegastein Viewpoint

I took a day off from riding to do the famous Flåm Railway, stopping off at the Stegastein Viewpoint on the way. The view from the platform is spectacular, especially...

Otternes Bygdetun

About ten minutes ride from Flåm on the banks of Aurlandsfjord, I found a cluster of 18th century farm buildings perched atop a hill. It was a challenge to get...

Nærøyfjord

After exploring Gudvangen, I took the ferry along the Nærøyfjord back to Flåm, where my Triumph was parked. The weather was pretty rotten, but cloudy skies only make the photographs...

Flåmsbana Railway

On day six of my motorcycle tour around Southern Norway, I took the day off to do the famous Flåmsbana Railway. The weather was miserable, but that didn't ruin the...

Vøringfossen

About 70 miles into my ride from Bondhus to Årdalstangen, I came across the colossal Vøringfossen; one of the most famous of Norway's incredible waterfalls. It thunders down one end...

Undredal

The next stop on my ride from Bondhus to Årdalstangen was Undredal, a cute little village tucked between the mountains on Aurlandsfjorden, just a short ride from the mouth of...

Lærdalstunnelen

If you don’t like driving through tunnels, you'd best avoid Norway. I must’ve done about 20 of them today, including this one: Lærdalstunnelen, the world’s longest road tunnel at 15...

Photography

Hardangerbrua

The first stop on my 240 mile ride from Bondhus to Årdalstangen was Kvernabekken Park, for a nice view of the Hardanger Bridge, an impressive 1.3km suspension bridge crossing the...

Photography

Eidfjord

The first destination on my journey North to Årdalstangen was the beautiful village of Eidfjord, on the shore of its namesake estuary. I had hoped to get some drone photos...

Photography

Borgund Stavkyrkje

I stumbled across this old wooden stave church in the village of Borgund, about 35 miles South of Årdalstangen. Although runic inscriptions date the building at 1150 AD, it was...

Photography

Bondhus

I rose early in the morning to start my 6.5 hour ride from Bondhus to Årdalstangen, and was disappointed to see the weather hadn't changed from the night before. The...

Møllestien

It was going to be a tedious 230 mile motorway ride from Møgeltønder in the South, to Hirtshals on the Northern tip of Denmark, where I'd booked an overnight ferry...

Photography

Tønder

My first stop in Denmark was a little town called Tønder, just a few miles North of the German border. It's a cute little port town that flourished in the...

Photography

Møgeltønder

Just when I was beginning to think Denmark was a bit flat and monotonous (which it is), I stumbled across the little town of Møgeltønder a stone's throw North of...

Photography

Giethoorn

The first stop on my motorcycle tour around Scandinavia was Giethoorn, a chocolate box village in the Netherlands reminiscent of the Cotswolds, however famous for having no roads. Sony A7R...

Bremen

After a challenging start to the day, thanks to Dutch fishermen holding my ferry to ransom, I was relieved to finally cross the border into Germany and arrive at and...

Photography

Squirrels of Peasholm Park

We took a wander around Peasholm Park in Scarborough to meet some of the locals. The cafe there does little bags of pellets that the wild squirrels seem to love....

Photography

Laamu Atoll

It was my better half's 40th birthday this year, so I treated her to a week on a desert island in the Indian Ocean. After a gruelling eighteen months, we...

Chickens of Pickering

Most people said we were mad to go camping on the last weekend of October. They were probably right. But we did get to meet a few feathered critters at...

Monkey World Dorset

If you ever get the opportunity to visit Monkey World - the ape rescue and rehabilitation centre on the South coast of England - I'd definitely recommend it, although probably...

Photography

Jurassic Coast

If I hadn't driven there myself, I'd have sworn I was in the South of France. It was about 28°c outside, so we chose to spend the day roasting in...

The Road Home

I can't recall exactly where this was taken, but it was somewhere along the A66 on our way back from the Alpacaly Ever After near Bassenthwaite, Cumbria. The late evening...
