Horizons Unlimited Travellers Meeting 2011, a set on Flickr. Wow, just absolutely wow. This was my first Horizons Unlimited Travellers Meeting – it’s like getting your travel batteries recharged and ready for the road again. As amazing as you think your trips have been there are people who have done something more amazing and are … Continue reading
Travel – you have a responsibility to share.
When I first started working for Lonely Planet (who I left last year), in fact in the first week, I posted on this blog a rather scathing criticism of the Trades Union Congress who had called for a boycott of Lonely Planet: TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber said: ‘The very existence of a travel guide … Continue reading
Adventure Travel Film Festival 2011 – Photos
Adventure Travel Film Festival 2011, a set on Flickr. The photos – a very quick post to show you the photos from the Adventure Travel Film Festival down in Devon this weekend. These shots are from Thursday and Friday – for some reason the camera didn’t come out on Saturday, but Stace did have his … Continue reading
Simple Noodles
Noodles are pretty much the perfect on-the-road food. Packed with lots of energy giving goodness they’re also incredibly cheap, easy to get hold of and fabulously versatile. In the past we’ve taken a look at Wokkered Noodles – in this recipe we explore the simplest of noodle options – sausages, packet tomato sauce… that’s it. … Continue reading
Camp Omelette
First in a new series of three cooking videos we start with the most basic of good food for the road – the Omelette. Incredibly simple to make, and importantly, still good to eat if you mess it up! The great thing about this recipe is that it’s very easy to add to or change … Continue reading
Breakfast Mess
This is a very simple breakfast – it looks a mess – and frankly it is, but it’s full of slow-release energy and sets you up for the day. It’s also worth pointing out that I rather made a hash of this recipe. It should have been an omelette with a little sausage, bacon and … Continue reading
Flat Bread on-the-road
Last weekend Stace and I headed out to Wales to ‘rough it’ in the middle of nowhere. In the end we managed to get ourselves invited onto a farm (okay it’s not the middle of the forrest) and then into the farm’s barn – which turned out to have beds and a little kitchen – … Continue reading
5 Things I Always Pack
Stolen totally from the Practical Travel Gear blog I’m doing a quick post on the 5 things I never leave behind when I travel. I travel a lot. I mean a lot. On the motorbike to Russia and Morocco, on a plane to pretty much every corner of the world, I’ve spent a great deal … Continue reading
London – you have to love it
I’ve been back for nearly two months. It’s time to sit back and decide if it was right to leave the great weather and the great people of Melbourne. In the time I’ve been back I’ve moved house, rented out my own place, arranged for a motorbike to be shipped from one side of the … Continue reading
Moules Marinières
We’re onto the fourth video in my cooking on the road series and this week I take a look at mussels. They’re cheap and when you’re near the coast you can’t beat them for a quick and easy meal. An excellent source of Selenium, and vitamin B12, and a good source of Zinc, and folate, they also have a … Continue reading
