Very pleased to have had a full weekend of ☀️ in January! Drove to the North Norfolk coastline and walked the wide beaches. Stunning area of the country and well worth a visit. . . #greatbritishoutdoors #getoutside #osmapping #exploremore #exploreyourbackard #outsideeveryday #redjanuary #norfolk #northnorfolk #holkham #holkhambeach #brancasterbeach #northnorfolkaonb #weekendinwells #adventureweekends #microadventure #wintersunshine

Saw the James Bond trailer last week. Thought “that looks like Matera”. It is. Matera is the greatest city you’ve never heard of. Or maybe you have now, as it’s the European Capital of Culture 2019. . . We arrived there on our bikes in December four years ago, even though it was back the way we had come from. Our hosts the previous night had told us we had to go there. So on leaving their house we turned back the way we came and pedalled into Matera on the weekend of the world’s largest nativity. Who measures it I don’t know, but street corners and cave houses and church entrances were turned into nativity scenes across the whole of the old town. With laser lights cutting across the valley. The next day we were shown around and marvelled at what seemed to be a real life film set. Turns out it’s Bond appropriate. . . #cycletouring #cyclingeurope #cycleeurope #matera #visitmatera #matera2019 #materanativity #materaitaly #jamesbond #jamesbond007 #jamesbondlocation #jamesbondfilm #jamesbondmovie #notimetodie #notimetodietrailer #notimetodie2020

Nice morning ride to and along the east shore of #rutlandwater (if you ignore the freezing toes and gale force winds). . . #GetOutside #osmaps #osmapping #wintercycling #allyearcycling #yearroundcycling #thickglovesneeded #rutlandwater #rutland #visitrutland #normanton #normantononsoar #exploremore #greatbritishcountryside #

Tiny cyclist in big scenery. Debs being dwarfed by the Graian Alps on the descent from Col de l’Iseran. Remembering the spectacular scenery. Trying to forget how cold it was doing the first part of the descent in 4 degrees when we set off in a shorts and T-shirt-wearing 22 degrees... . . #cycling #roadcycling #cyclingeurope #colcollecting #cyclethecols #coldeliseran #tdf #tourdefrance #climbthecols #colclimbing #colcycling #cyclingshotscol #cycletouring #worldcycling #savoie #frenchalps #graianalps #valdisere #routedesgrandesalpes #cyclingphotos #cyclingphotography #cyclingpics #cyclinglife #bikewander
