Lac de Gaube & Pont d'Espagne... always a great hike. Beautiful (mostly) sunny autumn morning.

Monday 21 October 2024

Lac d'Estaing stroll. Making friends with locals grin Bit calmer than visit the other week & lake is like a mirror!

Monday 22 July 2024

Crystal clear Lac d'Estom & the equally pristine Gave de Lutour. Many shallows & waterfalls on this hike. Stunning!

Tuesday 25 June 2024

Monday 23 October 2023

Lunch at Grand Puncak Sari, Kintamani. Breathtaking views + as much as you can eat = spent quite some time here! grin

Thursday 22 June 2023

Camping by Lake Annecy. Bit grey on arrival but remnants of today's storm look cool blowing over peaks on other side.

Tuesday 20 June 2023

Short stroll this morning by the shores of Lake Geneva. A dip might have been tempting last night, but not right now!

Saturday 17 June 2023

Dream day on the bike: Grimsel Pass. Furka Pass. Susten Pass. Blue skies. Lakes. Snow. 121km. 3476m vertical. Yowza!

Friday 16 June 2023

Lunch stop by Lake Brienz - on our way to Innertkirchen. Thankfully having more luck with Swiss weather this year smile

Monday 17 October 2022

Yesa Reservoir: Sea of the Pyrenees. Sadly seems there's been no 'sea' here for years. Quite surreal landscape today.

Friday 15 July 2022

Just back from hols mostly riding in mountains & by lakes. What to do? Cycle Lac d'Estaing for more of the same! grin

Friday 8 July 2022

Nice spin in Parc naturel regional des Volcans d'Auvergne. Quite a mouthful! But great park could spend more time in.

Tuesday 5 July 2022

Sunset at Lac de Vaivre. Parked up in a quiet spot by this lake. Very nice & thankful it's still not peak season smile

Sunday 3 July 2022

Time to leave Lake Lucerne... really love this place. Last of the views on the road above Weggis. Tschuss!

Evening stroll in Vitznau, Lake Lucerne. Interesting train station here: Rigibahn was 1st mountain railway in Europe.

Friday 1 July 2022

Random shots from today's instalment of 'Driving Through Switzerland in the Rain'. Bit of a theme forming here!

Wednesday 29 June 2022

Onwards & upwards as they say! Last part of today's hike via Windegghutte. Few chains on this climb. Awesome route!

Wednesday 29 June 2022

The Trift Bridge. Because why wouldn't you build a rope crossing between cliffs above a glacial lake? A. Maze. Ing!!!

Sunday 26 June 2022

Random shots from today's little drive along Lake Maggiore. Feriolo then coffee stop in Intra. Another glorious day.

Saturday 25 June 2022

Today's ride: Lakes Orta & Maggiore. Ridiculously beautiful! Many cyclists out & even traffic is well behaved smile

Friday 24 June 2022

... and so we find ourselves on the shores of Lake Orta. Quite pretty with some hills around. Weather seems OK. Phew!

Monday 20 June 2022

Tuesday 7 September 2021

Messing around on the shores of Lac de Matemale smile

Tuesday 15 September 2020

Today's ride: Lac de Saint Ferreol. Beautiful area I think is bit like a mini Black Forest - sadly minus beer/cake sad

On the shores of Untersee. We were last guests of the season in this campsite & they gifted us the stay! Danke! smile

Thursday 3 October 2019

Little forest walk to the shore of Brombachsee.

Monday 30 September 2019

Sunset by Chiemsee. Spectacular! Feel like we could be on a Pacific island - if not for Alps on the horizon wink

Monday 30 September 2019

More random pics from a lakeside campsite. Gotta love out of season travel - this place would be packed in summer!

Friday 20 September 2019

Random stop for lunch overlooking Lac de Serre-Poncon. It's not about the destination... smile

Monday 15 July 2019

Stunning Lac d'Artouste. 2000m up, but with the sunshine today & that crystal clear water, feels almost tropical.

Saturday 29 June 2019

When your teenage guest is missing the beach... we find ourselves at Lac de Lourdes. I'll admit water was lovely in.

Friday 20 May 2016

Things to do this arvo, so little spin up the Aspin & to Lac de Payolle was all there was time for today. Oh well! wink

Friday 22 April 2016

Today's ride: bit grey but always something interesting to see. This is on the dam wall at Stausee Kleine Kinzig.

Thursday 7 April 2016

Ride from the Med coast up brutal climb (20%+ ramps), past vineyards, a castle & lakes. You know, the usual stuff wink

Wednesday 19 August 2015

Short hike up to Roche des vieux chevaux (great views down to the site we're staying at) & Lac de Lispach.

Wednesday 24 June 2015

Stuck the phone out of skylight above our bed not long after waking up & hit camera shutter. Looks like a nice day!

Tuesday 23 June 2015

Rainbow over Lac de Longemer. And the view a few minutes later. Wow! Loving this place!

Sunday 21 June 2015

Lac de Longemer: what a spot! Roads here are awesome, but there's baguette & cheese to be eaten before any riding! wink

Saturday 2 May 2015

Morning stroll by the lake shore next to Castle Howard. Saying hello to some of the locals along the way... quack!

Sunday 22 March 2015

Just back from breakie looked out the window to see amazing light on the lake. Wow! It's so beautiful here. So lucky!

Saturday 21 March 2015

Nyepi day in Bali. Silent at dawn. We cannot leave hotel today so booked one with large grounds. So beautiful here.

Tuesday 5 August 2014

Lunch spot: Refugi de Juclar. Nippy at around 2300m up. Lake next door would be prettier if it hadn't been drained sad

Tuesday 22 July 2014

9km later... back down by Lac du Tech. Such a nice way to spend a few hours.
