fajersson.orgWe arrived at the beginning of October, and the first two weeks were spent in a blur, in a serious heatwave. All the folks here said they have never experienced such an event. The hot trade wind air over Africa was blowing over the island, which is something that does happen, but usually in the […]
This is the first time we have travelled to this Canary Island. We’re quite familiar with Tenerife, and La Palma, of course, so we thought we would take the opportunity to spend a bit of time here. First impressions – it’s a huge island, with lots of traffic. The island is volcanic and steep, and […]
We’ve been on La Palma for more than two weeks, and the duration entirely, we have spent in an unprecedented heatwave. Temperatures here in Tazacorte have averaged 30 during the days, at the beginning, it was as hot at night! Now, nights drop down to 25! There was night early on, where the winds were […]
One of us is on deck for a milestone birthday, so, we decided on a little trip abroad to celebrate! Ok, it’s me, the author, and the birthday has already happened. I’m just getting around to making a post, for anyone who is interested. i won’t bore with all the travel details, but, instead, give […]
We just returned from a two week road trip, we didn’t head too far from home, but we revisited some old tracks in our motorcycling past. In 2016 we did the Washington State Back Country Discovery Route (WABDR) and Canwest HUBB, and in 2017 we did the North West Passage route. Back then, we did […]
We are on our last few days in Sweden, and nearing the end of our trip in general. Two more days here, then travel days until we’re home. It has been a time of catching up with friends for us, and family for Lars. It has been a good visit! Lots of walking, so much […]
We’ve been in Spain for just a few days, but it seems like so much longer! The flight from Glasgow to Barcelona with Easyjet, was … easy! On time, straight forward. We took a train from the airport to Blanes, which is where we’re staying. That was only a little-lot bit painful. Just slow, and […]
We’ve been away just a week, after flying into Gatwick, to Edinburgh for a couple of days and then a drive to visit the Isle of Skye. We have lucked out with the weather, it has only rained on the driving portion from Edinburgh to Drumbuie; otherwise we’ve been in good to great weather. Sunscreen […]
In 2016 and 17, we did shorter-but-ambitious road trips (WABDR and NWP) with our small dirt bikes. Loved the riding, not so much the highway faster travel, and the carry everything-and-make-sure-it-fits camping experience. In 2018, we did a big trip on bigger motorbikes, a combination of hotels and camping. It too was a great experience, […]
Here is a description with a corresponding map for three rides we did during the trip. If you would like the GPX tracks for these rides, just add a comment. Benton Crossing An easy, great ride heading north out of Bishop on first Fish Slough road and then through Chidago Canyon which is a must […]
