Footpaths

For walking along? It seems not. The safe zone for pedestrians, post delivery employees and pushchairs have become quite unsafe, or at least according to some social media platforms. I have to agree with a lot of the comments, however it is not the rule, rather the exception. When I first visited Berlin, my partnerContinue reading “Footpaths”

Winter Sun

Very happy to have chosen yesterday to visit the Reichstag for the first time in a number of years…

Es begann in Tadcaster.

Vor einem Jahr bekam ich einen Anruf von Phil. Dein Trailer ist fertig Paul, komm und hol ihn ab, wenn du kannst.Das Wetter war typisch Januar, eisig kalt und nass. Ich wollte das abholen…. 3 Monate vor diesem Foto hatten wir unseren Richardson Double Horse Trailer von Alex in Tadcaster gekauft. Yorkshire als funktionierendes Fahrzeug.Continue reading “Es begann in Tadcaster.”

The Other side of (the) Tracks

Recently returned from England, I felt compelled to share my observations. The very current issue of sustainable transport links affects us all and there are different approaches in different countries. Firstly, travelling from the aiport, it was immediately apparent how bad the roads are in England. They were in quite bad shape when I movedContinue reading “The Other side of (the) Tracks”

Mauerweg Süd

Wall Fragments

The first time I noticed that pieces of the wall had been used for something other than ornaments outside hotels around Berlin and elsewhere was whilst cycling along the Konigsweg behind Dreilinden. There are several old border buildings/ruins in the woods there and the famous pink tank memorial on a plinth. Closer to the KleinmachnowContinue reading “Wall Fragments”

Er ist etwa 160 km lang und umgibt das gesamte Gebiet, das zwischen 1961 und 1989 West-Berlin war. IchContinue reading “Deutsch”

Berliner Mauerweg

Berlin and Wall, synonomous forever and although the city has been unified for 30 years this year, it is possible to trace the entire route on foot or by bicycle on the ‘Berlin Wall Way’. It is around 160km and encircles the whole of what was West Berlin between 1961 and 1989. I decided toContinue reading “Berliner Mauerweg”

6 Days Berlin

An appropriate time to start my blog. I have just finished 5 days of cycling the Berliner Mauerweg (the route of the Berlin Wall 1961-1989) in 5 sections of around 30km each. I followed this with my first visit to the Velodrome Berlin in Friedrichshain and enjoyed the famous 6 Tage Berlin cycling event. IContinue reading “6 Days Berlin”
