LEJoG Day 2 – Golant to Tiverton
Dreading today’s ride! 85 very hilly miles to Tiverton and the weather isn’t scheduled to improve either! Watch out for the Tweeted map link at the start of the day. Your replies are read out aloud by my phone and have certainly helped us on our way! Bike route 1114950 – powered by Bikemap

Stromboli volcano erupting
After a 3-hour trek up to the crater of the volcano that gives the island of Stromboli its name, we were rewarded with fantastic views of magma explosions and lava flows. The twin furnaces were continuously spitting out magma, allowing me to try several different exposure lengths. However, I was only quick enough to grab […]
