Chaplog tries hard

Month: April 2004

  • Tropical Delph

    We went to Delph to cycle and plan a holiday. I put on sun screen to save the parts of the skull that had been exposed by my recent haircut.

  • Mont Albo – Sinsicola

    I Had to find out how much the body could cope with, so I planned this big ride about sixty miles around Monte Albo, it is marked in green on the map, scenic, and appeared to gain a lot of height and then keep it for a considerable distance.

  • Walk to Tiscali

    We woke up to a sky full of cloud and a cool temperature, very cool 10C. It was obviously a walking day. Where to go?

  • Oresei, Irgoli, Norghio and back.

    It rained during the night and it was raining in the morning. I had a pleasant morning on the computer working on photographs. I needed to get some exercise and see some scenary.

  • It rained

    Lynne and I have just started the same ride that I attempted yesterday. The differences are that it is blowing a gale and it is raining. Perfect training for the Outer Hebrides is my retort to the negative waves from my partner.

  • A second attempt to find flamingos

    So we did not see the flamingos at our first attempt, what we needed were more resources.

  • A visit to Piscinas

    A two hour drive to visit the biggest sand dunes in Europe. What I did not know was that it was the Llanberris of Sardinia, old mine workings and weather to match, it rained for a while.

  • Monte Ferru

    Cabras is a town that we have been avoiding for a number of reasons. The first being that the email sent to me giving directions to the area stated specifically to avoid it.

  • A flamingo hunt

    Lynne and I negotiated a cycle ride with Kate. A twenty mile round trip to see the flamingos. Kate would have a lie-in and get some sunshine.

  • A postcard from Sardinia

    It is not easy to start the family holiday the day after you finish work. There is no preparing the mind and the body, it is just straight into it. A 5:30 am start with the usual intention of I will catch up with sleep on the plane, in the car but it never happens.
