The Atlantic
The Bay of Biscay
Cold clear waters
Wrapping round North West Spain
Shaping the land
Forming sandy beaches
Roads winding around the coastline
And the sun setting over the Atlantic.
Impressions of North West Spain. Part 3, the beaches.

A day in Dartmoor National Park

Beautiful patches of forest

Starting in Stone: Chapter 3 of my European motorcycle adventure
Back in England
Start of my next motorcycle adventure
Canals a starting theme.
Stone in Staffordshire the starting point for this 3 month tour of the UK and Europe
The shakedown trip north to Skipton in North Yorkshire
An old mill town
A canal town
With Skipton Castle playing a special part in the English Civil war.
But my main reason to travel north was the Moto Guzzi Club Pennines rally.
Meeting new friends and experiencing the welcoming biker culture.
And of course riding through the beautiful Yorkshire countryside.
Goodbye to the Melbourne winter
I’m saying goodbye to the Melbourne winter
Cold old Melbourne winter
Windy cold icy Melbourne winter
Still cold Melbourne winter where the weak sun warms the skin but not the bones.
My home town
In many ways a beauty by the bay
She sparkles at night
And by some standards its not as cold as others suffer
You can even ride your motorbike.
But when the icy rain falls from the grey skies
Its time for this adventurer to give his goodbyes.
Welcome me the warm arms of Europa.
Chapter 3 of my European motorcycle adventure is about to begin.
