When I arrived in Leon it was the start of the interesting cycling again. The previous days had been the flat plains which are brown, dry and well, pretty flat. The Spain that you know! The topography of Northern Spain is very hilly/mountainous on the sides/top and flat in the middle. Leon was the start […]

I left France from St Jean Pied de Port and headed uphill over the Pyrenees. It turns out it’s quite hilly in Spain. The route has been a slightly strange mixture of deserted main roads due to a ‘new’ dual carriageway having been built next to the old main road and busy main roads where […]

I left the Eurovelo 6 (European Cycle Route) near Digoin and headed South West through France. This was the way I had been advised to go, across the Northern part of the Central Massif. I was told it was miles more interesting if a tad hilly. The scenery was great, it was definitely hilly but […]

The last of the flat lands, continuing along Les Doubs to where it met La Saône, until I got to the point just west of Digoin where I went south for the hills!

During the last leg of my trip down the Rhine in Germany I stopped at Kehl to have a day off. Strasbourg was a walk over the bridge into France. I spent a day exploring the old city which is surrounded by a moat. It’s very picturesque (apart from the station, mon dieu!). Stick a glass […]

The last section of my ride along the Rhine was through southern Germany from Speyer, through Germersheim, Karlsruhe, Plittersdorf, Kehl, Ottenheim, Rust, Sabach am Kaiserstuhl, Breisach, Neuenberg, Bad Bellingen and finally Weil am Rhein and across the border into Basel. It was very different down there, hardly any river traffic, the river actually got shallow […]

My second week cycling in Germany was the picture postcard old castles overlooking the river. South from Cologne I first came to Bonn where the UNESCO world heritage section starts, on to Remagen, Bad Breisig, Koblenz, St Goar, Ingelheim am Rhein, Mainz, Oppenheim, Gernsheim and to Hamm. On the opposite side of the river was […]

These photos were off my first week in Germany after I crossed the border at Millingen aan de Rijn. I passed through the old Roman town of Xanten, then on to Rheinberg, Duisberg, Neuss (over the river from Dusseldorf), Dormagen, Leverkusen before arriving in Cologne. I stayed in Cologne with a friend (Thomas and his wife Gaby) […]

I arrived by overnight ferry into the Hook of Holland, around 30km from the centre of Rotterdam. I followed the course of the Rhine passing through Dordrecht, Gorinchem, Zaltbommel, Beneden Leeuwen, Nijmegen (amongst others) and finally the border town of Millingen Aan de Rjin. Below is a collection of my photos from that part of […]
