Lake Annecy
The first stop-over on my motorcycle tour across Europe brought me to Lake Annecy in the Haute-Savoie region of France. I didn't stay for long, as I still had several...

The Old Man of Storr
When I first arrived at The Old Man of Storr, it was shrouded in mist and I wasn't sure if it'd be worth the trek from the tiny muddy car...
Photography
The Fairy Glen
I don't know if the landscape of the Fairy Glen is natural or man-made, but there's something really odd about its unnaturally terraced hillsides. I chose the wrong time of...

Neist Point Lighthouse
I didn't have time to take the stroll down to Neist Point Lighthouse but the view of it from the cliff's edge was stunning enough.
Photography
Glen Etive
I spent the first night of my roadtrip up the west coast of Scotland by the banks of Loch Etive, a tidal loch in Argyll & Bute. I found a...

Glencoe
The first day of my roadtrip up the West coast of Scotland brought me to the iconic wee white house of Glencoe, the Lagangarbh Hut. While it's certainly not worth...

Loch Lomond
I've been to Loch Lomond several times; it's one of my favourite parts of Scotland. But I'd never been in the winter, only in the spring and summer, so we...
Photography
Lauterbrunnen

Photography
Stelvio Pass
I rode the wonderful Passo Gardena through the Dolomites, west toward the legendary Stelvio Pass, supposedly the best road on earth. It’s something I’ve wanted to see for myself for...
Photography
Staatsstraße
The ride back along Staatsstraße from Bormio to Campitello di Fassa, where I was camped for the night was smooth and meandering rather than hairpin-twisty. The road carved easily through...
Photography
Lago di Carezza
Whilst riding around the Dolomites, I came across Lago di Carezza, a beautiful turquoise lake with a bit of a legend behind it. Apparently, it was home to a water...
Photography
South Tyrol
I was sure Switzerland had ruined the rest of my trip, since my experience in Slovenia and Croatia, by comparison, had been so underwhelming. I thought it was all downhill...
Photography
Plitviče National Park
I had to abandon my plans to ride the Vršič Pass in northern Slovenia due to an unscheduled apocalypse; head-height fork lightning, pea-soup and rain drops the size of hazelnuts...
Photography
Northern Croatia
The ride back to my campsite in Slovenia from Plitviče National Park was something of an eye-opener. It struck me just how poor Croatia seems to be compared with some...
Photography
Laghi di Fusine
After driving south through Austria on their awful motorway system (basically 200 miles of rumble-strip), I cut across a bite-sized chunk of Italy on my way to Slovenia. Whilst there,...
Photography
Bled
My second stop in Slovenia was Lake Bled, a popular tourist hotspot that I'd been looking forward to seeing for quite some time. All of the photographs I'd seen of...

Lake Obersee

Lake Königssee
