Spain 2026
A welcome day off the road in Aranjuez, exploring olive-lined roads by bike and wandering through the beautiful Jardín del Príncipe. Magnificent trees, fountains, sunshine and a few little mishaps along the way.
Spain 2026
A quiet day at sea, then into Spain and south to Aranda de Duero, where tapas, beer and a free aire made it feel like the trip had really begun.
Spain 2026
After all the planning and packing, we’re finally on our way to Spain — and it feels so good to be on the road.
Days Out
An autumn ride up the Elwy Valley, along the top of the Conwy Valley and back to the sea for lunch. Sunshine, stunning views and great company.
Campsite Reviews
After a long day and a campsite we couldn’t find, Hotel Jezero offered us a free place to stop, a warm welcome and a memorable meal.
Spain 2026
The ferry to Santander is booked and the lists have begun. We’re planning four weeks of lakes, mountains and quieter coastlines in Matilda—with plenty of room to change our minds along the way.
Reflections
From dial-up internet and a black-brick mobile phone to having AI in my pocket. I’ve watched technology transform everyday life — and now I’m wondering where on earth it might take us next.

A small, rustic campsite in a beautiful setting near Mostar, with spacious pitches, a wonderfully warm welcome and plenty of character.
Cycling
A hilly ride through the North Wales countryside to Llyn Brenig, with monster climbs, heavy showers, soaring red kites and an unexpected battery adventure on the journey home.
Reflections
Sometimes the things that make us feel productive aren’t the things that actually move us forward. A reflection on proxy actions, baby steps and asking one simple question: what is the next real action?
