Mountain biking beats climbing when everything is wet! instagr.am/p/CncaBPzMBrJ/

Every day is different, not every day are the lines frozen in place - just glad I left them fairly tidy! instagr.am/p/CmRnlprskQm/

A few (dry!) days pedalling around Normandie. Actually the first tour with panniers I'd done since getting back from America. Funny how time flies. Touring with panniers is definitely more convenient and civilised than bike pacKing! instagr.am/p/Ckuyju1sKQo/
An afternoon exploring some amazing trails on Exmoor, enjoying the sun and some well earned cake! instagr.am/p/CjfhxGLMUbZ/

When did England get so fat? 😢🤦‍♂️☹️ Haven't they heard of #parkrun?
Enjoying one of the best views on the water and some early December sun and a bit of warmth. The water was warm at least, days shouldn't have been this cold when you're almost in Africa! . . . . . #kite #kitesurf #spain #water #ocean #sea #sun #sky instagr.am/p/CXX9py8s3sA/

Flat calm at the marina, waiting for @mokokocoffeebakery to open! . . . . . #yacht #boatlife instagr.am/p/CU9QaJrMpWr/
It was called The Early Morning Traverse, we figured a late morning start was good enough. A hilarious day of utter #trudgery crossing Wintours Leap all in the name of promoting a new climbing discipline - "esoteric traditional bush-whacking purchase-les… instagr.am/p/CU4glolMR1c/

Exploring the Quantocks. Kind of like Wiltshire with the epic XC! Definitely coming back 😁 instagr.am/p/CU2rz2RMCNM/
Flat #calm for the final leg of #sailing from #Cardiff back to @portisheadmarina. Sailed in well after dark steering by the chart plotter and the various nav lights in the Estuary. . . . . . #yacht #boatlife #adventure #riversevern instagr.am/p/CTxI5y6MFC0/

#sunset as we sailed in to #lundy last week. A longer than planned day from Newquay and anchored up in the dark ready for a couple of days climbing instagr.am/p/CTE3IbEMgdc/

Amazing day #sailing straight down the rhumb line to Falmouth. After some arduous uphill struggles in the last week it was a fitting reward. Left Plymouth at midday motoring out to the breakwater and after a couple of tacks the wind swung round to the NE… instagr.am/p/CSEsgNbMK4x/
#Sunrise off #swanage this #morning. Finally got around to setting up the #wind steering system that came with the #boat so now just sitting back and #relaxing. I've decided helming is unnecessarily tedious work so letting a wind vane do it for you is th… instagr.am/p/CRv1BD9Mnrn/

Sunset at anchor last night. A metaphorically cool, but actually roasting, first day sailing out of the Solent. Not quit the sailing I'd hoped for, as the tide turned the wind, as per the forecast died! So motor sailing for the first weekend, again today… instagr.am/p/CRd1SvslGdr/

Rounding #oldharryrocks on route to #poole a couple of weeks back. After a calm morning, thus a late departure, the wind picked up but this meant sailing into #pooleharbour at nearly dusk dodging the chain ferry on the way in! instagr.am/p/CRTg1OCFLDm/
