It’s likely that most people reading this will already know who we are. However, just in case: Martina, originally from Buncrana, County Donegal, Ireland, and Nigel, originally from Southwest England.
Our blog was originally set up to record our bicycle journey from London to Auckland between April 2018 and March 2020. It has now been expanded to include all future cycling trips, whenever they begin again. The next three trips on our radar are London to Buncrana followed by a tour of Ireland, a return to Bangladesh for a month and potentially 6 months in South America. Beyond that we have a few ideas but nothing concrete.

Tues 6 May. Rosses Point to Donegal Town. 71km. I woke up pretty excited today as this was the day we were going to cross into my home county of Donegal. No idea why I felt so excited but I guess seeing the familiar names on signposts made me feel like I was on a […]

2 May 23 – Westport to An Ceann Ramhar – 82km We had a reasonably slow get-up, packed the bikes and said goodbye to Westport. Really enjoyed our stay here and it’s definitely somewhere that we will come back to in the future and would recommend as a place to visit. The first couple of […]

Fri 26 May – Sat 27 May. Clifden. A day off in Clifden where we did very little other than walk round the town (which is a lovely little place), take a trip to the supermarket and stock up on midgie repellent and headnets as our experience at the campsite in Spiddal had left us […]
