We had an easy day today. Well... I say 'easy', but we've walked 10k! But at least nothing scared me today or was strenuous, and I'm not feeling poorly any more, although my nose is still streaming. With my red nose from blowing it, and sore eyes and skin from the relentless wind, I'm not... Continue Reading →
It's been so windy today, we could hardly stand up at times. John's comment was... 'I couldn't live here!' The Beast from the East was a definitely a little fluffy pussy cat in comparison to the wind here today. That said, at least it didn't rain, although we had a few snow flurries. We got...

It's been a long day with some ups and downs, but we're now settled in our Airbnb in Iceland. After a disturbed night's sleep, I woke at 6.00, then realised it was really 5.00 because the clocks had gone forward... ugh! I was hot all night because we forgot to turn the air conditioning down,... Continue Reading →
Will this all fit in 2 hold bags and 2 cabin bags? Ice axes, crampons, helmets, hiking boots, camera, lenses, 2 tripods, waterproofs, down jackets, fleeces, clothes, wash kit, iPad, chargers... the list seems endless! And the answer is... No! We decided to pay for an additional hold bag, which has made things much easier.... Continue Reading →
We've had an eventful weekend. Warren and Steph, who we haven't see for a while, came to stay with their little girl, Daisy. It must have been a while because last time we saw Daisy she was a small cute 3-year old, climbing her first mountain, and now she's a tall, pretty 6-year old who... Continue Reading →
The drive up to Wissant near Calais was uneventful. Last time we stayed at the camper van aire in Wissant it was every busy and we just managed to squeeze in. It was busy this time too but, thankfully, we got the last proper space. We then wandered into the town for lunch. It was... Continue Reading →
We were woken early by the alarm, pulled our clothes on, put the bed away, and left the aire to travel the 20 minutes to the Eurotunnel terminal. We checked in, collected a coffee and some breakfast and, when our time came, joined the queue to get on the train. After about 30 minutes, we... Continue Reading →
Our holiday is coming to an end and on Thursday we had a lazy day, while we planned how to spend our last few days. We spent some time sitting in the sunshine, before we went into the village for lunch... lovely galettes, then a crepe for John and an ice cream for me, washed... Continue Reading →
After a refreshingly better night's sleep, with no snorers, we set off on what was to prove to be an epic day for seeing the local wildlife, as well as more stunning scenery. This is rather a long blog entry because it was such a good day, and there are lots of photos because it... Continue Reading →
What an awful night's sleep! The German man who we'd been chatting to over dinner, in John's words, 'snored like a pig'! After an enjoyable dinner, we had an early night and I fell asleep by 9 o'clock and didn't hear some of the others in the dormitory come to bed. However, at 11 o'clock... Continue Reading →
