DAVE & JO WHITNEY'S TRAVELS

Hi there, welcome to our website. What you will find here, where we hope you find something of interest, is a collection of travelogues with photos covering the countries below. The majority of them are cycling trips as we are keen cyclists but we also like walking so there are a few of those in New Zealand and Nepal. Since taking early retirement in 1997 the trips have tended to get longer especially when we flee these U.K shores to avoid the worst of an English winter.

Update September 2009

Our cycling trips this year have been to:

Thailand/Laos see www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/ourasiantour which also involved coming back on the Trans Mongolian Train from Beijing to Moscow: see http://backpacktravel.topicwise.com/doc/ourbigtraintrip

We went to Scotland in May/June: see www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/scotlandtrip2009

Then through August we went cycling through Holland/Belgium/Luxembourg/Germany and France with some New Zealand tandem friends: see www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/our2009summertrip
