Random Bike Rides: November 2014
http://randombikerides.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
The Occasional bike ride, which may become more than occasional. Tuesday, 18 November 2014. Llansamlet to Mumbles Pier and back. There are lots of reasons for being retired but one good one is that one can choose the good days to go out. Today was a cracker, blue skies and not too cold. However although not too strong we seemed to be against the wind on the outward trip and again on the way back - how does that happen? Route - UK Hills. I told you it was windy. The wild side of Osprey land. Llansamlet to...

Random Bike Rides: January 2014
http://randombikerides.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
The Occasional bike ride, which may become more than occasional. Friday, 24 January 2014. 1 Tumble to North Dock 2/ Penclacwydd to Pavilion Cafe. I am falling behind a bit as I forgot to mention our ride on 17th January. With the forecast looking good we decided at short notice to cycle from Tumble to the Discovery Centre at North Dock Llanelli. Just after starting the forecast was clearly wrong as it rained but thankfully not for long and thereafter the it stayed dry and with light winds. Today, 23rd of...

Random Bike Rides: Golden Secrets
http://randombikerides.blogspot.com/2014/09/golden-secrets.html
The Occasional bike ride, which may become more than occasional. Tuesday, 16 September 2014. I bought some time ago a guide to a number of cycle rides based at Llandovery and with a day spare I decided on the longest ride which is described as "Golden Secrets". I parked the car by the bridge over the Afon Tywi and set off crossing Dolauhirion Bridge and thereafter followed the described route. The weather was just right for cycling being not too hot or cold and little wind. View my complete profile.

Random Bike Rides: November 2013
http://randombikerides.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
The Occasional bike ride, which may become more than occasional. Thursday, 28 November 2013. Coast 2 Coast (Lougher to Swansea Bay). Is this now a weekly ride out - hope so! Paul and I decided on the NCN route 4 from Lougher bridge (dividing point between Scarlets and Ospreys) and down the almost traffic free route to Swansea Bay and then through Mumbles and a planned coffee/tea at Verdi's. Attractive sculpture in Swansea Bay. Friday, 22 November 2013. Cross Hands To Sandy Water and back (Route 47).

Random Bike Rides: Millennium Coast Path
http://randombikerides.blogspot.com/2014/09/millennium-coast-path.html
The Occasional bike ride, which may become more than occasional. Thursday, 11 September 2014. Paul and I decided a ride on the Millennium Coast Path to include fried egg on toast at the Pavilion Cafe seemed a good idea. We parked at the Wildlife Centre and cycled west passing the North Dock Discovery Centre and on to the Pavilion Cafe. However we had made good progress and cycled on to Burry Port and stopped here near the lighthouse. Breakwater leading from lighthouse. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Random Bike Rides: September 2014
http://randombikerides.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
The Occasional bike ride, which may become more than occasional. Tuesday, 30 September 2014. Chester - Delamere Forest - Guilden Sutton. My son and partner live just outside Chester and luckily my brother-in-law Andy also lives in Chester. The main purpose of my visit was to carry out gardening work at my son`s but I had time off for good behaviour and Saturday was pencilled in for a bike ride with Andy. The plan was to cycle on the Chester Greenway. And then on route NCN 70. And it was very busy. Back o...

RANDOM BACKPACKING: May 2012
http://randombackpacking.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Friday, 18 May 2012. AN UNWANTED STOP TO PROCEDURES. Just before Easter 2012, my knee gave way and now walking has come to an end. Off to see (no doubt pricy) private consultant on 8th June to see what can be done. Thankfully I have discovered that cycling has no apparent affect to my knee and certainly no pain. I will also see if canoeing without kneeling is suitable. I always tend to kneel. Anyway cycle stuff can be found at http:/ randombikerides.blogspot.co.uk/. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

RANDOM BACKPACKING: June 2010
http://randombackpacking.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Monday, 28 June 2010. My First Bacpacking Trip Arenig Fawr/Moel Llyfnant. My First Backpacking Trip. How did all of this start? Well I have been hill walking for some 25 years or more, but always from a base, be it camping, Youth Hostel or cottage or daily trips from home. Also wild camped on numerous occasions but this is from an open canoe where weight has not been a concern. Having listened to the pod casts of Bob Cartwright published on the Out. Ional hazard in West Wales! So on the June 25. I was pl...
