Basecamp Wales – My 1st Hostel Experience (A Motorcyclist’s Review)

@lonelyTWAT During my epic road-trip to Wales which you can read about here: Part 1 and Part 2, my friend and I stayed at Basecamp located in Llanllyfni a small village on the outskirts of Snowdonia National Park. To be fair I was very dubious as it was a hostel, something I had yet toContinue reading "Basecamp Wales – My 1st Hostel Experience (A Motorcyclist’s Review)"

Climbing Mountains – A Welsh Road-trip Part 2

You can read part 1 of my trip here. Day 2 After yesterdays monstrous task of riding hundreds of miles and climbing Snowdon, I am feeling better than I thought.

Through Stormy Skies

@lonelyTWAT Just less than one month since I wrote written in the stars with hope to start a new life in Padstow with my husband Rob. Just one month for us to realise that out of the 'frying pan and into the fire' was actually into a raging inferno. Just one month to finally standContinue reading "Through Stormy Skies"

The girl with the non motorcyclist husband

Ian Stephens Photography I am sure there are many bikers out there who have a partner who does not ride motorcycles or are just anti-motorbike. Luckily my husband, Rob, isn't the latter he just doesn't ride. Although that isn't to say I haven't tried to get him on a bike, even booking him in forContinue reading "The girl with the non motorcyclist husband"

But is this just a dreamers idea of escaping from the everyday norm of society? Or is it a realistic way of living? @lonelyTWAT Well when youContinue reading "Becoming a digital nomad……just a pipe dream or potential reality?"

Written in the stars

@lonelyTWAT As I sit here gazing into the beautiful Cornish sky with its hundreds and thousands of twinkling stars, I get to wondering about what lays ahead. Is our future written in the stars? Truth be told, I have never felt so lost or unsure with what I want to do. But there is somethingContinue reading "Written in the stars"

Off into the Cornish Sun

There is nothing quite like mouching around on the bike when the sun is rising or about to set. Yes we have all seen endless beautiful sunsets but there's something rather nostalgic about riding on a motorbike off into the sunset. Reminding us of a sense of belonging and being, at one with our gloriousContinue reading "Off into the Cornish Sun"

Lonely T.W.A.T

I have loved motorbikes since I can remember. Although it was only at the age of 24 that I got my 1st bike, a brand new Honda CBR 125cc 2010. @loneyTWAT I was instantly hooked and went everywhere on her and through all weather's rain, snow,ous sunshine and wind (my worst kind of riding weather).Continue reading "Lonely T.W.A.T"
