Puffin is tied up for the winter on the Yonne. I will return in April/May to continue the journey to the med so no updates til then. Currently cycling along dusty roads in Cambodia…

Sadly not. Crossing the border into Cambodia at Bavet and only have 15 days left on the visa so just heading south. Will have to save north of Hanoi for next time.

Getting bikes on train involved a bit of back and forth between various desks at the station but wasn’t too difficult. Cost £15 and the bikes were packed in a crate for safety…

Currently cycling south in Vietnam. Started in Hanoi but took train to Dong Ha to miss out busy roads. Will head down the coast to somewhere past Da Nang then over the central highlands and cross the border into Cambodia. Or go to Saigon and then cross border at Bavet, depends on visa situation and which borders are currently open for visa on arrival. So far it’s been hot and very wet. Food has been amazing but out in the countryside it’s been very much a case of eat whatever you’re given, lots of noodle soups with offal and bones! Have tried to ask for vegetarian food but it’s been tricky. Beer is super cheap at around 30p a bottle/glass, great for thirsty cyclists. Hotels cheap - average is £10 a night for a nice double room with en suite.

Incredible album. Jean Claude Vannier at his best.
There’s a route on here that goes from Richmond and round the back of Heathrow, out through pinewood and iver Heath and drops down to Marlow before crossing the chilterns. It’s called ride to the dreaming spires or something and I can’t find it! I’m sure someone can. Nice route
