Photos from my bicycle touring exploits around the world, which I’ve added to the website over the past month (September 2025). Photographs that I’ve taken while travelling around on my bike that have appeared on the website over the past month. This month’s photos come from Kazakhstan, France and my recent ride to the New Forest and Dorset.
Photos in the Flickr album are also mainly from my ride at the end of the month. Although there are also a few from my time at home before I went away, including my first ride out of the month. This was due to bad weather. And my hip playing me up, but after getting some stronger painkillers from the doctors. I was able to get back on my bike.

Photographs taken while cycling around the world on my bike that have appeared on the website over the past month. This month’s photos come from the USA, Ireland, Wales and England.
There’s no Flickr photo album this month; I’ve not been anywhere. I was recovering from last month’s ride around Kent. And then, of course, towards the end of the month, I ended up at the hospital. August isn’t looking too hopeful for cycling either. I’ve got to have a hip aspiration, and I’m unsure if I’m allowed to cycle afterwards.

My latest bicycle touring update, cycling in Europe: England. In Brockenhurst, for a change. I decided to stay in the New Forest for another night in the end. Although the campsite is busy, it’s not been too bad.
I’ve decided that I’m going to go home tomorrow after all. I spent much of last night and today thinking where I could go. That isn’t going too far away from home; I don’t have a lot of my medication left. Also, I’m not so good at going somewhere just for the sake of it.
Oh, get off. That’s my bike
I’ve spent a lot of the day putting chains back on people’s bikes and picking children up off the ground. That have either tripped over or fallen off their bike. I seem to have pitched my tent in an accident black spot. That’s another good reason for going home tomorrow. I’m worn out.

My latest bicycle touring update: cycling England, in Brockenhurst. And there I was thinking that I wouldn’t have anything to write about today! Haha, how wrong was I?
I decided to stay in the New Forest and have a lazy day today. I did contemplate going to the Isle of Wight again. Despite what I said yesterday. And maybe as things turned out, I should have.
It was nearly 10 o’clock, and I was already starting to get bored. I knew it would happen; it always does. I always like the thought of sitting around doing nothing, but the reality is that I soon get bored and wish I’d moved on. But I’d made the decision and paid for another night. So I decided to go and get some supplies for the day. Mainly beer, it’s never quite as boring when there’s beer to drink.
I left the campsite and set off for the shops. But en route, I decided to take a detour down another road. I thought I’d been down it before, but after cycling down it, I wasn’t so sure. (I probably have cycled down it before and just forgotten! The memory of a gnat) Anyway, as I was bimbling away, I saw a road named Butts Lawn. It tickled my childhood sense of humour, so I decided to cycle down it. As I cycled down, I came across a ford. They’re always fun to cycle through, and I thought it might look good on my YouTube channel, so I turned the camera on. I know, instead of flying through, as I normally do. I’ll cycle slowly; it might look good. I think that was my downfall. Quite literally.
Bloody Idiot
Camera on, and I started to roll down the slope towards the ford. As I entered the water, it started to get somewhat deeper than I’d expected and was up to my wheel axles. It was too deep to try and glide through, and I had to start peddling. But my front wheel must have hit a rut, and I started to fall off. I put my foot down, but it didn’t work and off I tumbled into the water.
The infamous ford, with remnants of my cuts still on the road, a couple of hours later
On the way down, I must have caught my shins on the pedals. There was blood pouring from both legs. Particularly my left leg, which looked bad. I quickly picked myself up, looking around to see if anybody had seen me. Thankfully, nobody had. The water had turned red with blood, as I dragged myself from the ford onto dry land, there was blood dripping everywhere. Best I head back to my tent and sort this out, I thought. (Ford accident, short video)
As I cycled back to the campsite, my foot kept slipping off the pedal, my flip-flop was full of blood. It was relentless. As I arrived at camp, I decided that this might be a little too much for me to sort out and stopped at the entrance to ask for help. The staff were as good as gold and looked after me superbly. Although they did think that I should perhaps go to the hospital for stitches. But as far as I was concerned, they steemed the bleeding and that’s all I wanted. I didn’t want to mess up my tent or sleeping bag after all!
Unfortunately, I had to venture out again after I’d been fixed up. I hadn’t got the beer I went out for in the first place! And stubbed my toes on a tent peg. That was it, after getting my beer, I spent the rest of the afternoon around the tent. Drinking beer and watching others struggling to put their tents up.
