Isle of Wight Coast Path – Day Two

Saturday 05 August 2017

Considering the noise, live band and the large number of people on the campsite, we slept well and awoke to glorious sunshine which meant an alfresco breakfast of porridge and coffee with a few brioche as a treat.

Isle of Wight Coast Path – Day One

Friday 04 August 2017

I will be the first to admit that the Isle of Wight Coast path was not particularly high up on my trekking bucket list. I knew that the path existed and that it was around sixty-five miles long but that was about it.

WILDCAMP

Summer Solstice Wild Camp

The plan was straight forward enough. We would drive to Dartmoor. Walk out onto the moors. Set up camp and watch the sunset. In the morning we would wake up early and watch the sunrise on Summer Solstice.

Laugavegur Trail Iceland

Sunday 31 August 2014

Sitting on the plane at Luton all ready to head off for our Icelandic adventure was not the time we wanted to hear the Captain announcing that there would be a delay as Iceland had just closed off their air space to all flights. This was not the best of starts! Bárðarbunga an Icelandic volcano in the lava field of Holuhraun was threatening to erupt. This news had been rumbling around for a couple of weeks before we left but we really did not think it would affect us! An hour and a half of slightly tense waiting on the plane followed before the pilot announced that airspace was open and we could fly. At least we would get there and would worry about getting back when that time came. The volcano did go on to erupt a couple of days before we left but the effects were localised and did not affect international flights – luckily!
