  1. Four legs is clearly better than 2 wheels - Stray dog completes 1700km China race bbc.in/LDmKyC
  2. First time hosting a cyclist... except only told them the house name and town. Amazingly he found the place without knowing the street! Doh.
  3. New frontiers in mountaineering: The leopard changes his spots | The Economist econ.st/JwCJAN
  4. It's a beautiful day but I seem more attracted to the fridge. Is Siberia calling... or just an empty stomach?!
  5. I may have cycled a 30km round trip to work today, but feeling disproportionately hungry. Scoffing pasta... and cereals... and fruit...
  6. I love the long summer evenings... the early summer mornings not so much. Yet another pre-5am wake-up. Need to black-out the windows!
  7. Helen's Take On... Photos of Rural Cuba bit.ly/LkqMch
  8. @toniwonitravels yeah thanks. Rotator cuff tear. But it's getting better with physio, slowly slowly.

  10. Just uploading second video of packrafting in Nicaragua... seen the first part yet? And do I really say 'innit'?! youtu.be/tR2FIxlZLQ0
  11. Clearly I've never hit my head hard enough! - When a Blow to the Head Creates a Sudden Genius - bit.ly/JFCyD7
  12. @familyonabike piss-up? why not!
  13. clean bike all fixed. filthy me pretty knackered.
  14. Good-bye to another set of shitty cheap tyres and punctures every other day. Just put on new Schwalbe XR's. How did I manage without them!
  15. just found some old emails of short stories i sent home from my China and Kenya trips. Some absolute classics! Fun to reminisce
