Returning Home: The End of an Era?
Returning back to Scotland after a few years away. What’s changed and what hasn’t?
Bike Ramble - Cycle Adventures on Planet Earth
Well I did a big cycle once around Europe and Asia lasting about 6 years, with three or so bags and a bicycle I built in my bedroom. I lived on the road, with long stops in Spain, Greece and China. I worked abroad as an English teacher, in hostels or other projects to fund my travels. Or maybe I was a drug dealer? (That’s a joke, Mum). I hate adverts, affiliate crap and sponsorship so you won’t find any on this website. I’ll probably cycle some more one day, but for now I’m chilling. Feel free to poke around this web-tomb of a sporadically updated trip 🙂
Or check out some of my photos here, or better, on Instagram.

Embarking on some new adventures…
I’m majorly winning at this little game I’ve made for myself. It’s not even difficult any more. And I think that’s the problem.
I woke up at -10°C in a culvert of frozen shit under a road at 4,000m (13,000 ft). It was the beginning of my first full day in China, and if I weren’t so pessimistic, I would have supposed things could only get better.

Cycling one of the highest plateaus in the world, at over 4000m in the Pamirs, on the second-highest international highway in the world.
