Day 5 Tyndrum to Kingshouse 30 km. The beginning of the day was fairly easy-going. The terrain was flat and easy underfoot. We stopped at The Bridge of Orchy Hotel for a hot chocolate. The views were fantastic and the hot drinks most welcome. Due to interminable rain we decided to enjoy the views from... Continue Reading →
The 154 km West Highland Way walking trail starts in Milngavie (just north of Glasgow). We had taken a flight from Gatwick London to Glasgow, followed by a 20 minute taxi ride to the Milngavie Premier Inn hotel. Flying to Glasgow was sadly cheaper than taking a train. Not to mention quicker (a couple of... Continue Reading →
Wolfing down our strawberry flavoured overnight oats in the car park we were ready to set off on our morning adventure. We parked in the Morrisons, West Kirby car park. The machine was broken so we didn't have to pay. But, bring your purse just in case. Across the road lay a vast sandy beach,... Continue Reading →

1. Cycling along the sea front 'Come on speedy!' My brother enjoyed yelling at me as I tried to keep up with him. Ferocious winds greeted us as we used all our strength to peddle forwards.

The Hague is the Netherlands ' third-largest city home to one million citizens. Yet walking the streets feels somewhat calm. People don't rush around like they do in London. Plus there are fewer humans. Some of the streets are pedestrianised too which helps. We began our first day with a choco loco and a mango smoothie... Continue Reading →
