I recently had O2 unlock my iPhone prior to me transferring my number to T-mobile. I wanted to test T-Mobiles unlimited internet and texts for a tenner a month.
All went well until….
I’ve now discovered that putting the iPhone into flight mode locks me out of the iPhone totally, insisting that it has to be connected [...]

Todays little walk was with the B team of The Cambridge Rambling Club, ably led by John, we set of from Great Shelford and ventured across to Haslingfield. We did quite a bit of road walking which with the mud and ice was probably just as well. Our lunchtime drink was at the Little Rose [...]

Our friend Ellee has just done a great blog post on The Wonders of Walking.
Tis a pity she wasn’t with us today as Sally and I had a beautiful walk with the Cambridge Rambling Club. The leaders for today should have been Margaret & Larry. However, due to the icy road conditions and because they [...]

Yesterdays walk with the Cambridge Rambling Club was a good test for our foul weather gear, mine failed abysmally
We 11 started from St Mary’s Church car park at Rougham, in very wet and windy conditions, so it was heads down for the first 9 miles to Bradfield St Clare and a spot of [...]

Today’s travel blog is a ramble with the Cambridge Rambling Club. We did a 14mile figure of 8 centered in Newport, Essex.
It was an warm autumn day, exactly 3 years since I met Sally on the fateful Nar Valley walk. The colours on the trees were truly splendid, especially when the sun came out and [...]

Here is today’s little 11 mile walk around Les Gets where my apartment is. We walked around the main skiing area of the Chavannes with a steep climb upto Tete du Vuargne above the Ranfoilly lift at 1825metres.
Interestingly there is a major project of adding more snow cannons underway on the Nanchetts runs and on [...]

Finally managed to correctly geotag all the 744 images I took of the stiles and gates on The Offa’s Dyke Walk, A few stiles are missing from near Prestatyn (before the idea came to me) and some gates in the early stages are also missing, when I was undecided as to whether they should be [...]

Exactly one week ago I set of walking Offa’s Dyke on the English / Welsh border. I’ve been blessed with good weather so today I find myself in Hay on Wye with 139 miles walked, according my GPS and another 50.5 to do according to the Harvey Map I’m using.
The scenery is magnificent heavily wooded [...]

Today finds me waking up in Cloud Hill, a late 60s architect designed house, lots of plywood beams and clean open spaces.
I’ve now walked 76km of the 282km path and had my leg over 100 stiles. So far from Prestatyn it’s been very hilly but today’s walk from south of Llangollen to Four Crosses looks [...]
