Four Wheeled Nomad on the Pros and Cons of Four Wheels Versus Two
Jason and I had the pleasure of engaging in a Podcast with Overland Journal’s Ashley Giordano – pop the kettle on, make a cuppa and put your feet up. (Published here on Expedition Portal – a joy and privilege to also win the coveted award: 2022 Overlanders of the Year!)
Hiluxing around the Scottish Highlands
Jase and I have visited Scotland numerous times and have always loved it – known for its charming cottages tucked in the hills, amid the Highland cows and deer grazing in a valley below a big sky full of drama. Our neighbouring country possesses some of Western Europe’s largest wildernesses, which we have roamed extensively […]
15 May – 15 June 2021 – The Scottish Highlands in our House Truck
Photography by Jason Spafford I’ve always been fond of Scotland, our near-faraway neighbour, famed for its white-painted dollhouses nestled in the hillside, among red deer grazing in a lush green glen. There are likely more sheep than people, chewing the cud on the rush pasture amid bright bursts of yellow gorse bushes. There’s often a […]
Iceland Odyssey
This is our latest montage, which we hope will give you a flavour of the many dynamic landscapes we encountered on our two-and-a-half-month odyssey around Iceland – of all the Nordic countries we visited in the second half of 2019, this was our favourite by quite a margin.
14-30 Sept 2019 – The Faroe Islands: the nearest faraway place I’ve visited
At the tail-end of Hurricane Dorian, a fierce wind battered our ferry as we pitched and rolled through the chop, blown into a white-capped frenzy. As water smacked against us, there was little choice but to ride the waves of nausea after embarkation in Denmark. Two days of being tossed up and down in the […]
27 Jul-13 Sept 2019 – Nordkapp, European brown bears and hold your tongue, Jason!
There is nothing more criminal than waste, and there’s nothing worse than wasting time. With that at the forefront, Norway was soon wrapped up in a calming night at Kannesteinen Rock. Followed by a warm reunion on the Atlantic Ocean Road with dear biking friends, Mel and Greg. After which, we reached our trip’s first […]
19-26 Jul 2019 – Norway is guaranteed to lift the roof off your brains: the Bolt, Pulpit Rock and the Troll’s Tongue!
Hike # 1: Kjeragbolten – The Bolt You can’t go to Norway and not yomp the hills, much less pass up on Kjeragbolten. It’d be like going to Mount Rushmore and saying, “Oh, we didn’t bother with the big carved mountainside thing. We just had a look in the gift shop.” Kjeragbolten (also known as […]
25 Jun-18 Jul 2019 – Norway: It’s easy to be a human doing, not just a human being
The Mega Transect proper Backing out of my mum’s driveway in Dorking was nowhere near the heart-thumping-in-my-throat, tear-jerker as it was on our motorcycles, destined for the Americas in 2014. Sliding back into the reclinable passenger seat – coffee cup holder on my left, Jase on my right – a heartfelt goodbye was exchanged before […]
21 May-14 Jun 2019 – The Mega Transect’s shakedown: Drenched in Hebridean happiness
A practice run for Cape to Cape Etive Road, Glencoe Time started to slow as we sunk into the Scottish Highlands. Easing our way back into a life on the road, Etive Road near Glencoe pinpointed a trusty camping spot in the area. Studying me for a while, as if I was an artwork with […]
