Well it is the start of the year… First effort at getting back on the riding trails! Just a nice little warmup!

Up for something different one weekend, I decided to do a dash from Sussex to Snowdonia in order to climb the mountain in just 30h. The plan was simple. Drive to Snowdonia National Park Climb Mount Snowdon Sleep Drive Home We didn’t actually do this in a record time, however we made ourselves comfortable and …

So what’s been happening? The year is 2010 and we are now 4months into it! A whole 4months…. A long 317 days (or 45weeks) have passed since I was standing in Gatwick Airport staring at this… A quote from the start of my trip: “I’m sure that time will come in months from now when …

Well after my travels I thought that it was be a novel idea to write a letter (5 pages) to the “Burtons/Arcadia Group” to tell them about travels and my “Burtons” branded trousers which I had worn through my entire trip… Unfortunately in true “English Style” they failed to comment and we give them “0 …

This is the PDF version of the Raleigh 09E magazine produced. It’s pretty big (24meg) but extra good quality

So after all the travels I successfully arrived back at London Heathrow @ 06:30 on 30th September greeted by the cool English weather and grey rainy sky! Along with the hordes of commuters on the tubes. The trees were brown and the touch of winter was inbound… LHR landing @ 06:39 The reality of england …

After 7.3hours sleep in the renta-room, there was no other way to kill 12hours in Brunei, other than going on a tour bus, a little overpriced @ £27 for a 4hour tour bus around the city. There was no other way I was going to pack so much into this short amount of time and …

It was touch down at KL airport on Saturday 26th September 2009 @ 18:00, I had two days left before jetting back home to the lovely winter days of England. KL was a typical city & fairly expensive in some areas. Chinatown seemed to do me alright though and you could get pretty cheap food, …

Phnom Phen, well what to say… In simple terms this country is seriously messed up. “Pol Pot” was the leader of the Cambodian communist movement known as the Khmer Rouge and decided to execute 200,000 people with 20% of the population (1.4 to 2million) being wiped out due to starvation and disease between 1975 to …

Thought i’d make the most of the colour range in the markets at Siem Reap… Vivid colour Market Scenes…

After the short Tuk-Tuk it was out for some food, I sampled the local “Khmer Chicken Curry” was pretty good and once again, tasted so much better for only costing £2! We had hired a Tuk-Tuk for the day and evening, which only cost about £20, this seemed compared to western prices, but was a …

Our bus journey from Vieng Vang took us to Vientiane, from here we had 2hours before we caught a night sleep bus (with beds) to “Pakse” south Lao. A little bit disappointed we didn’t get the flashing “King of Bus’s” bus we jumped on and left on the mark1 version, supposedly to “sleep” during transit. …

The next day it was a 4h bus journey to Vang Vieng, one of the best places to head to in Lao! (and they weren’t wrong) I realised in the morning that my night out before had killed my cash! I opted for a light breakfast option! The face of “err I only have 70,000 …
