Slowrider Adventures

A really nice day today.  Went to the west coast, great waves. 

But I was fat too lazy to walk all the way down and back.  

That's Lagos Portugal, not Lagos Africa.  

Very nice

The chaps arrived an hour late blaming it on a lack of taxis at the airport and long Waits. So they got the metro in. We then took the mo...

Problem is, no sight of the chaps...........

What a nightmare trip today, so cold this morning. The thermometer I passed on the motorway said 6C, but that was before I spent about 2 hou...

Fish and chips Dutch style

Now at the port in holland waiting for the ferry. Stopped off on the way to see yet more windmills.

Drove into someone's garden by mistake following this section of the trail.

But there are dirt tracks :-) Now I thought it was all going to be neatly kept roads.

So, near the campsite is an old 14c fortified town.   Really really small and really curious. https://www.bourtange.nl It has...

It's either very small, or far far away.

Don't think it rained last night but everything is wet from a heavy dew. Tent soaking on the outside, so decided to pack it outs...

One of the good things about this camping lark is being able to change plans and not having to end up re-arranging a load of hotel bookings...

Got off the ferry at Stockholm quite tired, even though I had a good night sleep.   I thought I would camp at Motalan as it sounded a nice t...

I was enjoying myself so much on the winding roads I was not paying attention to my fuel tank. Ahhhhhh, flashing reserve light............

So off onto forest tracks.

Overslept on the early morning ferry that arrived Stockholm at 07:00 and missed breakfast. Thought I would zoom through Stockholm and get ...

 Have you ever been to a duty free and thought "I'd like to buy some, but how will I get it home ?" As ever, the best solut...

Curiously nice. Now we know what powers the Cylons.

One of the reasons for the trip was to attend a small computer games conference in Helsinki. The game is very niche and you would never o...

Gin and Grapefruit and sparkling water, very nice.  

All a bit deliverance like.

After stopping for coffee, no, I am not addicted to coffee, I can give up any time, I can, really I can. Any way, joined the wide awake c...

The bike stayed upright. Inspecting the stand weld it still looks good. Quite a relief not to be beaten up by Swedish bikers for breakfa...

If we had met 5 mins earlier then there was no way we could have passed each other. That track was a bike tyre wide with rocks either ...

Now my bike is the first one right at the end. Ever seen a wall of dominoes fall? Well if my side stand goes then all the bikes may en...

A really nice day today, not a cloud in sight. A slow and easy pack up at the camp site and then charged off to Stockholm. Arri...
