Running, Cycle Touring and Roaming with Simple Living and Slow Travel
October 9-10: Melbourne to Home We’re back. We’ve arrived. We’re home. We’re on Tassie soil again. After six of the most amazing months, pedalling our way through parts of Europe and the U.K. and as mightily hard as it was to end such an adventure, end it must and now we are back in our...

Time for a roaming day and another little outing. Our destination was the nice little town of Longford and its two World Heritage Sites, the colonial estates, Brickendon and Woolmers.

Stanley. That lovely little village in the far north-west of Tasmania was giving us the perfect spot for a relaxing long weekend and we rolled on into a second day. What better way to start the day than a morning run around the surrounding area. Off I went into the darkness, with a faint glow... Continue Reading →
Yes, the blog is back. It’s been a while. Quite a while. It’s time to resurrect one’s jottings of experiences and give them a place on the blog page once again. Steve and I have decided to toddle off on another run, ride, roam adventure next year, hitting the pedals again to scale hill and... Continue Reading →
Run. Ride. Roam.
