What we did on our

HOLIDAYS

As far as I can recall this is a complete record of all my/our holidays from 1973 onwards. I began to keep journals of our cycling trips beginning in 1973 and continued with other holidays up to around 1984. After that I failed to keep full journals and I can't remember much of the 1990's! The journals begin again with our Narrowboat holidays in 2002.

As I type up the various journals links will appear to the right of the appropriate holiday as follows

Full Journal      Brief Details only

Where there is no link the holiday has not yet been written up

For the time being there are no photographs although I hope to add slideshows for each holiday in due course
