Old but Electrified
United Kingdom
Registrace 29. 01. 2018
'Old but Electrified' is what I have finally become. Old age is a privilege not granted to everyone, but to handle it successfully I had to get an eBike. My cycling was seriously starting to be affected by that heart attack and subsequent triple by-pass operation, and more recently the heart failure which was the result. But what was I to do? Give up cycle touring? NEVER! Ebike's came along at just the right time; I jumped on and never looked back. Well actually, I do still look behind me of course, but mainly to see where the others have got to... Tee hee.
Cycling the Danube. Kelheim, Regensburg Passau
The first section eastwards from Kelheim to Regensburg, then onto Straubing and Degendorf before arriving in Passau. This is a lesser pedalled section of the Danau Radweg, (Danube cycle path) but was a truly fabulous ride. Highly recommended, if you have time.

Cycling the Rhine-Main-Danube Canal from Nuremberg to Kelheim
zhlédnutí 353Před měsícem
The Rhein-Main-Donau canal joins the part of Europe draining northwards via the Rhine to the part draining Eastwards via the Danube. It rises to above 400m though it's a gentle ride. We used it to get to the start point of our Danube trip.

Traws Eryri - Day 1 Machynlleth to Dolgellau in the SUNSHINE! It doesn't happen a lot, but when it does it's truly fabulous!
Cycling Wertheim to Mainz along the River Main
zhlédnutí 636Před 4 měsíci
We pedalled westwards from Wertheim along the River Main and took in Miltenberg and Aschaffenburg before cutting out the massive meander to the east of Frankfurt, and ending in the city of Mainz, again somewhere not on the over worn tourist track. An interesting route though very very enjoyable, perhaps because the Mainradweg is so little known and used. Definitely worth a visit one summer.
Cycling the River Elbe, Melnik to Dresden via Terezin, Litomerice and Decin
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 4 měsíci
Three more days on the ElbeRadWeg, this time from Melnik northwards to Dresden via Litomerice and Decin through what must be considered to be the Elbe Gorge. The scenery was up to anything the Rhine gorge had to offer us the year before but with much fewer people. We went to Terezin, site of the oppressive interment camp of the 1940s, and finished in Dresden, a surprisingly classy city. The who...

A Sunny two day ride up the River Vltava from Prague to Melnik in the Czech Republic. This section of Eurovelo 7 is superb and made a great start to our Elbe River tour from Czechia to Germany.

Cycling the Tauber Trail. Romantische Strasse. Rothenburg to Wertheim
zhlédnutí 548Před 6 měsíci
Biking along the Taubertal, part of the Romantische Strasse. The Tauber trail was the first of the Five Star Bike Trails in Germany and still remains the Best one. Only short (2 days) it goes northwards from Rothenburg Ob Der Tauber to Wertheim where the Tauber runs into the R. Main. We extended this trip by starting at Nuremberg.

Not quite the finish we were hoping for... So I publish this story as a salient warning to all (who pedal to Durness after us) hoping to cross the Kyle of Durness in an attempt to get to Cape Wrath.

Cycling the Great North Trail part 27 - Altnaharra to Durness (via the Strathmore River Crossing)
zhlédnutí 477Před rokem
Last full day's cycling on the whole of this 800 mile epic journey. Includes the 'portage' section across the Strathmore River. One of the toughest sections but only because of 50 mph head winds.

Cycling the Great North Trail Day 26 - Achness to Altnaharra
zhlédnutí 645Před rokem
The Penultimate day. Glen Cassley was as good as anywhere else on the whole trip. Up to the top and over into the Valley holding one of Scotland's biggest Lochs, Loch Shin. What a view, what a ride, what a day. There's a book which goes with this series of films, It's called Old but Electrified. Hence the name change.

Cycling the Great North Trail part 25 - Glascarnoch to Rosehall (The Underwater Ebiking Episode)

Ebikes and water don't mix too well. Or so you'd think. I tested mine to the extreme and it came through unscathed. OK, it surfaced again though it was draped in pond weed. It worked though.
Cycling the Great North Trail Pt 24 - Inverness to Loch Glascarnoch (via Muir of Ord)
zhlédnutí 705Před 2 lety
First big ride of 2022 back on the Great North Trail and The An Turas Mor (same thing this far north). Five of us begin a five day trip with this 35 miler through Muir and up the valley of the River Black Water. But this ride didn't go exactly to plan!
Cycling the Great North Trail part 9 - Alston to Haltwhistle via the South Tyne Trail
zhlédnutí 1,5KPřed 2 lety
An easy day along the mostly flat old railway line course of the South Tyne Trail. The small exception is the steep descent to go under the Lambley viaduct, then up the other side. But the view from the top makes it all worthwhile

A grand tour along some very grand Glens. We went past Loch Lubnaig, then into Glen Ogle (and over the famous viaduct), then into Glen Dochart for a look at the Falls of Dochart, and night one we stayed at at Killin. Day two was along Glen Lochay and over into Loch Lyon (including a look at the Lebroich Dam. Finally, up we went again onto Rannoch Moor and to Loch Ossian, where we met our West H...
