Trans-Cambrian Way
Other than weekends at bike parks, I’ve never done multi-day mountain biking. When the Trans-Cambrian Way was suggested I figured that it was time to correct that oversight. At somewhere north of 100 miles, with over 3,000m ascent, it was never going to be a pushover. But I’ve got an e-bike, so it should be reasonably simple, right?
Moor and Sea
At the start of October we headed down to Devon for a few days. It’s been a while since we were in that part of the world
Seren-dipity
When you learn that ‘seren’ means ‘star’ in Welsh, this post title makes more sense.

We’ve just returned from Iceland, where the plan was to do some running and see a volcano, but geology and meteorology had other ideas.
The Corris Round
I am one of a fairly exclusive bunch of runners to have completed the Corris Round. But that’s more due to the fact that it was only created in August 2020 than because of any running prowess on my part.
Kinder Dozen
I first found out about the Kinder Dozen from Tim about five years ago, and I knew that the general advice was: (1) it’s a long day out; (2) don’t do it in summer because the bracken’s a nightmare. Point (2) will become quite pertinant.
Abraham’s Tea Round
After a couple of abortive pandemic-struck attempts at a Paddy Buckley round, I decided to stop focussing on a load of hills I’ve already run across hundreds of times, and strike out for somewhere new instead.
Maxing out Christmas
Having not seen a proper hill for some time, I hatched a plan to escape to the Peak District during the Single Christmas Day of Fun. Cue a departure from home at 02:30…
