About me
The big 50 this year, yikes! Have travelled by bicycle through France, Italy, Greece, Israel, Egypt, India, Nepal, Thailand, Indonesia and Sri Lanka over a 2.5 year period. Now very into hiking – walked the Camino de Santiago in 2001 and have done various sections of the Camino since. Love Spain generally, off to La Gomera next week and to walk part of the GR7 in Andalucia at Easter. In 2008 we’re off to Belize for a family reunion and then in the summer heading off for another year long bike ride – destination unknown!Recent activity
