Here's the 2nd part of my cycle trip to Edinburgh. This section took me 55 miles from Long Eaton (Nottingham) to Macclesfield (Manchester). This has 3 interesting sections. Firstly I had to find my way from one side of derby to the other using their rubbish cycle routes. Next I cycled up an old railway line called the Tissington trail. And finally I peddled over The Cat and Fiddle Pass, the UK's most dangerous road.

ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT PART 1, Video Blog 020
Here's part one of my cycle trek around the Annapurna circuit in Nepal. This was a difficult challange that involved pushing, carrying and peddling my way through the Himilayas. Reaching 5500 meters above sea level. It was difficult to escape the tourist trail on this part of my adventure, but I still found it interesting to see how the culture had adapted with tourism. It was also nice to be part of a very small minority who has completed this track on two wheels.

BUS TO POKHARA, Video Blog 019
I was tempted with the idea of cycling to Pokhara. A 2 day journey that the Lonely planet recommended. I recommend you don't unless you have cycled around the world and don't want to bus any part of it. But for leisure you should save it for another place. Luckily due to my feeling ill, I was put back a day and had to catch the bus to meet my deadline of reaching Thorong la pass on the 18th.

A couple of days seeing the sights of Kathmandu before heading to Pokhara and the Annapurna Circuit. Kathmandu wasn't the peaceful city I was expecting, in fact I left only a couple of days after arriving with the most awful saw throat, (And that's coming from a smoker). Polluted, noisy and very unnerving narrow streets with all the traffic whizzing past your feet. But on the up side the streets (that felt like back alleyways) were lined with outdoor shops filled with cheap camping/hiking equipment at stupidly low prices, And if you paid for the fakes it was insanely cheap. Hence I left Kathmandu looking like a Northface advert.
