Well, it’s been a long time coming but the video series on my trip to Georgia earlier in the year has finally actually reached Georgia! This Tbilisi video isn’t the one I’d hoped to make but the new mics are really crackly so although I didn’t talk to the camera a lot, pretty much everything … More New video: First impressions of Tbilisi
A couple of years ago now, I bought myself a new tent. I’m very fond of my two-man tunnel tent with porch but I kind of fancied something a bit bigger and I found a 4-man on sale for £80. That’s a really good price! Sometimes you’d struggle to find a decent 2-man for that … More Tent review: Eurohike Sendero 4 vs Cairns 5 DLX
It’s been a really long winter. Summer is due any day and we still haven’t had spring. I began to feel a bit stir-crazy – I have a new (to me; I rescued it) tent that I really wanted to try out and the year was flying by and I still hadnt planned any camping … More A horse invaded my tent: camping in the New Forest
This book holds a record for the longest time between reading it and getting onto my Travel Library! I bought it in Exeter back in September, on my way back from my weekend on Dartmoor, devoured the first chapter eagerly on the bus… and then it took until December to actually finish it and now … More Travel Library: Epic Continent by Nicholas Jubber
Another Lithuania post from the vault, as it were. While I never really gave Vilnius the post it deserved, Trakai has never even had a post of its own and it definitely deserves it. So this is the tale of my day out in Trakai in Lithuania all the way back in March 2011. I … More A day out at Old Trakai Castle
I’ve had a look back at some of my old posts and I think some of them deserve a re-write and I’m going to start with my trip to Lithuania, back in 2011. Wow, that was a long time ago. No wonder I’ve never blogged them as they deserve. So I’m going to start with … More A spring trip to Vilnius
This is an idea I had six or eight months ago but I didn’t have time to do it in the autumn or winter but today, at last, come and join me for my no-cruise cruise! I’m not a cruise person. I never will be. First, emetophobes and long boat journeys don’t mix. Second, I’d … More Come with me on a no-cruise cruise!
In my last post, I talked about the logistics of getting to Tbilisi without ending up arriving at 3am and how the best option for me ended up being flying into Cyprus to get a lunchtime flight into Tbilisi. And since I was arriving in the evening and leaving at lunchtime the next day, I … More A layover in Cyprus in January
It’s time for the second part of my vlog series about my trip to Georgia and this week’s is how to get to Tbilisi when there are no direct flights and all the indirect ones arrive and depart in the middle of the night. I actually only covered this subject in blog form less than … More New video: How to get to Tbilisi
It’s the last of the Georgia blogs today. At long last, I think I’ve written every word about Tbilisi and Tserovani and Mtskheta and Uplistsikhe and it’s time for something new. I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing somewhere new and that you’ll consider Tbilisi if you want somewhere new and interesting to go, or if you’re … More Georgia on film
