Petes Trip Reports
|
On this site you can find all my trip reports plus some cracking pictures from cycle touring, mountain biking, and climbing trips. Well, as soon as I get round to finishing all the typing and scanning that is. At the moment the backlog is down to only seven years but its coming down steadily. Still to come: tours of New Zealand, West Coast USA, and SW Ireland.

Whats new?

June 04: At last, I have now completed the UK South West Coast Path. Its more hilly than you might expect, plus some of the scenery is superb, towering cliffs and headlands, sea stacks, small coves and harbours, wildlife. Take a look at part1, part2 and part3 for full trip reports and pictures.

May 03: I have just put together some reports and pictures for two excellent tours.. Firstly, Iceland in september 1996, some of the most incredible natural landscape that you will see anywhere. Then the Hebrides off the West of Scotland in summer 2001, fantastic scenery, friendly people, and great birdlife.

March 03: Finally, I've got round to writing up trip reports for some classic UK riding. Firstly, Lands End to John O'Groats at the end of the summer 1999, some of the best (and a few bits of the worst) riding the UK has to offer, and immense variety packed it into its 1800km. Then the Brimstone 600k in early 2000, a magnificent event packing some of the best riding (& most of the hills) in the South of England into a single weekend. Torrential rain added to the excitement of the 2000 event.

Himalayan Bouldering
Sept 02: Pil has just come back from Himachal Pradesh, raving about a new bouldering area that he has opened up in Lahul/Spiti. Tales of scores of top quality problems on huge overhanging boulders and solid crystalline rock had us all impressed. Pil normally spends most of the year putting up desperates in Hampi, and has threatened to bring a pile of pictures back with him on his next UK trip. Watch this space!
