Welcome

Welcome to my 2011 follow up to the hugely successful blog of 'Jotown and Wally on the road'.

Here you'll be able to follow my quiet 'lifestyle',as I wander around the highways,byways,mountains and trails of Europe, in my van affectionately called 'Wally', or further afield using metal wings !

If I'm around where you are, and you want me to call - or visit me...just let me know ..

You can follow my adventures and keep in touch by posting messages whilst I am travelling.

For those of you who are returning for the second season then I expect more messages than in 2010....... this year there is a counter of page views at the foot of the page, so I will be watching.....!

Hurry Up….and Stop !

Having a lazy start to the day -  as you may expect, I spent the morning sorting some of my gear out,changing gas bottles- fortuitously running out on a dry day ,chatting to Rory the Reserve manager, reading and generally taking it easy, I decided to go for a short ramble around the lower fields to see what could be seen.

As I wandered along I saw four stones,carved and ‘planted’ some years ago – with a lovely thought…IMG_8664

A great reminder of the skies above… I also saw Golden Eagles, Buzzards, Falcons, and loads of smaller birds, a great pleasure to wander around,sit on rocks and just do….nothing (and drink it in ) !

Then it was back to Wally for lunch…and finish my book, before the early evening rain came, although blue skies have now popped up !

So, what to do, where to go next ……..??
