2013 Falkirk to Dumyat

Posted on 02/03/2013 by Paul.Lund

Ride 02/03/2013 Falkirk to Dumyat by PaulLund at Garmin Connect – Details.

Well is a beautiful sunny day so I thought I would trek up the Ochils hills, but I wan’t planning to go off road. But as I was cycling I saw some other cyclists going off road up a hill and I thought I haven’t been up there so I would take a look myself. I didn’t know the hill was Dumyat until I got back home and looked on the OS map I have. It’s not the highest hill in the Ochils but is quite a popular one apparently. And there are Crazy people who do a run race up this hill from Stirling Uni it take them 30 min!!!!! OMG it took me an hour to walk up it with the bike (yes I walked, it’s not the best place to ride your bike, far to rocky) and 20 min to ride down again, but the views are well worth it Dumyat Height 418m. Decided to ride on to Sheriffmuir Pub just a bit further up the road and did I not see a guy on a deck chair with nothing on but a pair of short! whilst on my way to the pub. Com’on people it may be sunny but its still only 10 degrees Celsius up here. Anyway 3500 feet climbed, 42 miles clocked up.

Well there is plenty of snow around now, although its very sunny so I don’t expect it to be around for very long.

: Someone obviously got bored in the snow

: Clear blue sky’s and lots of sunshine on a winters day.

Well it’s my first ride back from doing the Vietnam to Cambodia bike ride for the BHF and OMG it bloody Baltic! compared to doing that. Time for the 3 layers of cycling cloths again.

Vietnam to Cambodia return

Posted on 13/11/2012 by Paul.Lund

So it’s my last day in Cambodia and I’m packing my bag for the long flight home. We will be flying from Siem Reap to Singapore then catching a connecting flight back to Heathrow. All in all it’s been a good holiday and bike journey that was well worth doing even with the horrendous flights involved. I also had the opportunity to see Singapore as we had to wait 6 hours to catch our connecting flight back to London. So whilst in Singapore we went on the free tour to the city which shaved a couple of hours of the wait. I’ve taken nearly 400 photographs on this trip which I will be putting on my web site along with all of the Garmin data.

Vietnam to Cambodia Angkor Wat

Posted on 13/11/2012 by Paul.Lund

So this is it, the reason I choose this ride, to visit Angkor Wat and man what a place! Breakfast was at 08:30 and then we all meet up in the lobby to take a tok tok (motor cycle pulled carraige) from the hotel to the temple complex. Once there Kim our guide took us around 3 of the temples there, this place has some stunning architecture intertwined with the tree foliage. This place is so large I won’t have time to see everything, it would probably take me a week to go round all of the temples here. It’s another very hot day and I’m sweating like a pig, whilst cycling I had a nice breeze on me to keep me cool, but heat I’m just melting. Some of the temples are up steep stair cases which are hard work in this heat but at least it’s cooler inside the shaded temples. The views from these high temples are just stunning wish I had more time here to see more We then caught the tok tok’s back to the hotel for lunch and then I spent the rest of the day by the pool, chilling until this evening celebration meal.

Tonight meal is our celebration meal which we had outside by the pool under candle and star light. It was a 5 course meal which was very tasty indeed, I then went with the rest of the guys to town to the previous nights pub for a drink before returning to the hotel and sleep.
