My YouTube Channel: 66TripsLeft
Follow our travels around Asia, and in our campervan around UK/Europe. At an average age of 54 we realised our parents didn't really holiday after 76 years old (average), we were only doing 3 trips max per year, that's 66 trips left. We need to up our game.
London to Paris, self-organised and self-supported cycle rides
Details all my trips from London to Paris, mostly done for charity fundraising. All were self-organised, self-supported and done for a fraction of the cost of an organised tour. Lots of routes, hints and tips for you to do this yourself.

Genealogy
Contains family tree information that I've collected over the years to do with my family and particularly the name 'Winchcombe'. My family tree dates back to the 1750's at least and is only one broken link away from linking up with Jack O'Newbury and tales of the Royal Court.
