Read MoreA little road trip through a pretty region of France ; Emma&Pete have a heartwarming ceremony in Saintes, we ride our bikes in the rain around Île de Ré and we climb Mont Saint Michel, the walled monastery rising out of the sea!
Read MoreWe get stuck, with sound company, on the marvellous island of Menorca and enjoy every moment of it.
Read MoreThe wind forecast for us to cross between the islands wasn't great, but there was a window of opportunity between midnight and 6a.m overnight so we went for it.
Read MoreIt was rubbish. Only kidding... it looked like THIS!

Guernsey is a tale of two halves.
Half of the coast is cliff paths, expect to ascend and descend regularly, steep and rugged.

Our intention is to loop the perimeter of the island starting in St Peter Port Harbour Saturday morning and then cruising back into St Peter Port before dusk falls Sunday evening.
In the midst of the Loire Valley, with grand french houses lining the Loire River, you will find the little village of Chinon.
Just outside of Chinon, through the tree lined avenues, you will find Chateau Marcay.
Come for the views, for the bird watching, the hiking trials, for the kayaking/pedal boats, all of which focus around the gorge-ous cold green clear water flowing against the white chalk cliffs. We chose a beautiful 3 hour round trip kayak adventure…
Despite the dense start line the 60’odd strong fleet quickly spreads out, and the all too familiar burn of the lungs and the muscles quickly sets in.
