AJ and Ibby’s Weblog

So it’s a cold wet night and it would not be an evening to consider for any of our favourite pastimes. There is a time and place for climbing a mountain on a bicycle, sailing out on the open sea or screaming down a mountain on skis and this is most definitely not it. So what drives us to write about our experiences? Perhaps it is the need to share the sheer joy of reaching the top of Hors Category climb on the Tour de France route in the blazing summer heat, the feeling of the wind in your hair and the salt water coming over you in waves as you are screaming across a sunny bay on a full plain or perhaps the cosy moment when you sit down in a mountain restaurant and the snow is falling as precious powder outside. Who knows why we truly write but I suspect it is to try and capture those sublime moments when you have lost yourself in a truly inexplicable sensation.

This blog should be a place where we share our highlights and lowlights of all our mad travels around the globe, whether in a hotel or a tent we have had some extraordinary times amongst the mundane and the ordinary. We have laughed at some of the sights we have seen, been moved to tears by the simple beauty of our surroundings or simply feeling blessed to have been together, with our children or occasionally by ourselves.
