Cycling the Danube. Kelheim, Regensburg Passau
The first section eastwards from Kelheim to Regensburg, then onto Straubing and Degendorf before arriving in Passau. This is a lesser pedalled section of the Danau Radweg, (Danube cycle path) but was a truly fabulous ride. Highly recommended, if you have time.

Cycling the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal from Nuremberg to Kelheim
Просмотров 3732 месяца назад
The Rhein-Main-Donau canal joins the part of Europe draining northwards via the Rhine to the part draining Eastwards via the Danube. It rises to above 400m though it's a gentle ride. We used it to get to the start point of our Danube trip.

Cycling Wertheim to Mainz along the River Main
Просмотров 6564 месяца назад
We pedalled westwards from Wertheim along the River Main and took in Miltenberg and Aschaffenburg before cutting out the massive meander to the east of Frankfurt, and ending in the city of Mainz, again somewhere not on the over worn tourist track. An interesting route though very very enjoyable, perhaps because the Mainradweg is so little known and used. Definitely worth a visit one summer.
Cycling the River Elbe, Melnik to Dresden via Terezin, Litomerice and Decin

Three more days on the ElbeRadWeg, this time from Melnik northwards to Dresden via Litomerice and Decin through what must be considered to be the Elbe Gorge. The scenery was up to anything the Rhine gorge had to offer us the year before but with much fewer people. We went to Terezin, site of the oppressive interment camp of the 1940s, and finished in Dresden, a surprisingly classy city. The who...

The Penultimate day. Glen Cassley was as good as anywhere else on the whole trip. Up to the top and over into the Valley holding one of Scotland's biggest Lochs, Loch Shin. What a view, what a ride, what a day. There's a book which goes with this series of films, It's called Old but Electrified. Hence the name change.

Ebikes and water don't mix too well. Or so you'd think. I tested mine to the extreme and it came through unscathed. OK, it surfaced again though it was draped in pond weed. It worked though.

First big ride of 2022 back on the Great North Trail and The An Turas Mor (same thing this far north). Five of us begin a five day trip with this 35 miler through Muir and up the valley of the River Black Water. But this ride didn't go exactly to plan!

An easy day along the mostly flat old railway line course of the South Tyne Trail. The small exception is the steep descent to go under the Lambley viaduct, then up the other side. But the view from the top makes it all worthwhile

    It’s changing the attitudes and mindsets of the U.K’s population to cyclists and cycling, especially drivers, as well as educating some of the cyclists, like the ones that cycle on footpaths, this week 17th September 2025, there was a spokesperson from Cycling U.K. on BBC Breakfast, she mentioned more cycling infrastructure, one of the presenters John Kaye said U.K’s cities are old and have narrow winding streets, the response should have been to that answer, isn’t Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Paris as old?

      Hello Mt. Plucker, I’ve used the DJI Mavic pro for years but its a little cumbersome for bike touring, thats what I used in Wales. However I bought the simpler, lighter one now before this Germany/Austria trip, called Mini 2 se. I found it much more useable when on the bike. D

Done it on x2 Ragley Marley 29+ Manual bikes. I'd have loved an Ebike up from the Laggan side! that was quite the Hike-a-bike.

    Theres actually a lot to do in Delft. The old and the new church are worth a visit. Theres the Prinsenhof, which was William the Silents residence, where he was infamously shot dead. Its a museum now. Theres lots of small shops and nice restaurants and cafés. And the university has some pretty interesting stuff, if you can get in. Theres a whole computer museum in the basement of the IT faculty. Lots of great architecture everywhere. And some really nice parks with lakes and beaches you can relax at.

He just tells them all to carry their own gear or not bring so much. Maybe I’m just soft 🥵 Don
