Thu Bon Delta ( Vietnam): We used multiple forms of transport to cross to the many islands in the delta. We cycled across bamboo bridges, through rice paddies and small villages. A great ride

We biked both along the moats at Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom, the latter is 12km. At least we were not the poor souls who had to dig them by hand.

One of the better “red roads” we biked along, it was far too dangerous to attempt to photograph the others while under way.

A more creative “statue” in Edinburgh

The muttering from further diwn the hill suggested that I was not her favourite person at that moment.

One of the many cycle paths in The Netherlands

A man and his bike contemplating the next ride

Strolling across a farm on the Cotswold Way

The Priest who kindly offered us biscuits and Raki on our trip down the gorge. He put his hat on for the photo.

Rutth opts for the track rather than giving a demo of her skills at scaling rock faces.

The sun was just catching the tops of the White Mountains (Lefka Ora) when we arrived in Omalos for the begining of our walk.

While the wind blew at near gale force while on Skye this was a rare moment where it was not accompanied with cold rain

Ruth got plenty of practice at jumping between wet rocks at Glen Brittle at the base of the Cuillin mountains on Skye

Walking the Dunloe Gap in Killarney Ireland

The final descent to Bath (well so we thought)

A folly built for the owls to nest in, their natural habitat steadily reducing.

Some forced smiles to show how much fun it can be in the rain.

One of the many sections through woods on the Cotswold Way

WTF the track has got lost

Some magnificent beech forest on the early part of the track

The sand was beautiful to look at be hell to walk on.
