Sensationell schön. Und irgendwie unerwartet – wer ahnt schon, dass Reisezeitschriften-Bilder der Realität entsprechen. Dank des überfüllten Tintagel-Campingplatzes landen wir an einer Bucht in Dorset. Der Kiesstrand ist einladend und dann ist da noch das “Durdle Door” Felstor, das ein Barock-Künstler nicht schöner hätte malen können. When reality exceeds the pictures from a magazine, then…

Reisezeit ist wie Akku-Aufladen: Ich sauge mich voll mit Eindrücken von Landschaften, von Menschen und von allem, was sich unterwegs entwickelt. In England mischen sich unter dieses Grundrauschen zusätzlich wahre Energie-Spots: kraftvolle Orte, denen von jeher oder im Nachhinein Geschichte zugeschrieben wird. Cape Cornwall war bereits so ein Fleck, auf dem wir einfach verweilen und…

This journey is about sharing. Luckily, it turns out that Andy and me share the fascination for cliffs and impressive coastlines. With my camera being low on battery, we even share the pictures and, later on, drinks and dinner. Most of all, we share the 11,2 m² of Hector. As a matter of fact, this…

Weeks later, I will feel exactly like this: as powerful as the waves, strong as rock, and focused as anything. Today, we make it to the edge. To Cape Cornwall, to be more precise. We pass through St. Just with umpteen cafés and nice breakfast along the way, until we receive the most welcoming hello…

The best way to approach St. Ives is via the coastal path. Unless you dislike grey stones, green plants or blue sea. Wonderful weather might be even more of a cliché (never seen one of those “Rosamunde Pilcher TV movies” on German TV, but might look just like this), still, with Andy joining, we decide…

One of the ultimate highlights of The Tour 2022: Seeing friends and family in London! Hector remains in St. Ives while I pay impressing prices for the Great Western Railway. All worth it when arriving in London, hopping on the brand-new Elisabeth line, contrasted by the old Northern line and arriving in Finchley. Hampstead Heath…

Weeks ago, I reserved a pitch on the most expensive campsite ever: roughly 83,- EUR. Per night. For 1 Hector and 1 Lady. This being set, the overwhelming decoration with thousands of flags is the minimum I could expect. Only in the improbable case that the queen comes by for her platinum jubilee, she might…

My inner clock is still set on continental time; hence I am up and gone early enough. After the first half hour on the road, I start to relax and develop steady routine on left-driving. Just then, I face a car accident ahead with a blocked road. Without hesitation, I follow the recommendation of the…

Last night I have dreamed of driving on the left side of the road, meaning that my mindset is ready for today’s adventure. With all the “Left!” signs pinned to my cockpit, it is hard to focus on right-side-driving when approaching the port of Roscoff. Hector’s head lamps got some stickers that shall prevent dazzling…

Bretagne is beautiful and worth travelling. So far, I have only seen fragments of it. Yet, lucky me, I have a wonderful guest and she is all about sun, sea and a sandy beach. Of course, the decision has nothing to do with my brand-new surfboard. Anyway, we find ourselves at my favourite bay and…
