ABOUT

Dear Sir/Madam,

As a gentleman of a certain age I don’t mind admitting that when it comes to travel & adventure, I no longer possess the inclination to ‘kick the backside out of it’, a wonderful military expression used to describe doing something to the maximum.

So to scratch my adventure itch & sate my wanderlust before I feel the wood against my elbows, I have taken to mooching about the planet on my trusty Brompton bicycle, one of those nifty folding contraptions popularised by commuting sorts.

By bimbling through town & country on two, rather small wheels, I have found that it is not only possible for a short, slightly rotund fellow to appreciate the history, the topography & the flora & fauna of a region, it is also possible for them to appreciate the ‘fruits of the route’, the local delicacies & varieties of liquid refreshment that one often finds along the way. In a bid therefore to document my adventures I thought I’d start a blog.

Over time I hope this site becomes jammed to the gunwales with interesting anecdotes & historical tittle-tattle about the places that I hope to explore. If not it will be packed full of photos of me having a rare old time out on the trail.

Should you find that this sort of nonsense to be your sort of nonsense feel free to give me a like or even a follow, if not feel free to shove off.

Yours faithfully

Dan (The Dawdler)
