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.

Friday 17 Oct, Hawker, South Australia – 15km to Jarvis Hill Lookout and back Woke up feeling tired and a bit sorry for ourselves as we realised that to continue with our trip would be reckless. Yesterday ended well, but it definitely could have gotten a lot more serious – and Nigel really wasn’t in […]

Thursday 16th October 2025 – Blinman to Yanyanna Hut, 40km The overall plan was to cycle the Mawson Trail over a 3 week period, 900km of off-road trails through the Flinders Mountsin Range. All seemed very doable from the research, and there had been a lot! We had a plan, but never expected to keep […]
