Without further ado, our photographs from cycling across Australia. Or, at least, a little bit of it. Vineyards were a big feature. As were an excellent array of animal-based warning signs. The Wall of Shoes. Spotting this koala genuinely made my day, if not month. We sat and watched it for about 20 minutes. And…

South East Asia provided bountiful opportunities for good photographs: rich colours, interesting people and fantastic wild life. Here are a collection of our favourites from the months that we spent cycling through Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia. You can browse all of them on Flickr. Boarding one of the many ferries in the Mekong Delta.…

Our latest video: Cycling South East Asia. In this episode: Thai police posing for a photo with us. A grinning Bhuddist monk host. Me sleeping in a bike shop. Sketchy wooden bridges.

Those of you that have followed this blog in recent weeks will know that we’ve been having a good whinge about our time in India. The rose tinting of hindsight has already made it start to seem like a month of humorous chaos. Hopefully this 60-second film will convey some of the madness. Highlights include…

Facial hair has become quite a feature of our bike ride. Not mine, I hasten to add, but Tim’s, with his bushy ginger beard attracting an enormous amount of attention wherever we go. In India, many people greet him by asking ‘Ali Baba?’ and since Turkey, he has been asked countless times if he’s Muslim.…

Before setting off to cycle around the world, there was one country that we both looked forward to more than anywhere else: Iran. Here is a little taster of what we found when we got there… Cycling in an Iranian winter We cycled approximately 900 miles in Iran, from the northwest to the south. It…

Here’s a little bit about the place and a few wintery snaps so you can see for yourself what it looks like… We entered from Georgia and followed the hotly disputed Azerbaian border. Large boulders on either side are painted…
