Marrakesh Please

andyfied — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 21:38:49 +0000

I’m not going to go into great detail about how I tore a ligament in my ankle. This website is for travel editorials, not general discussions about my life. Suffice to say it was a sports injury (12 hour drinking marathon) and happened one week before my weekend trip in Marrakesh with the [...]

120 miles didn’t seem that far…

Z-Man — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 15:14:31 +0000

Ok this was actually ages ago, long before andyfied started demanding travel stories from everyone he’s even been the proximity of for a minute to contribute to his ‘website’.

Well over a year ago I found myself in India on a business trip with a few days to spare between meetings. [...]

Machu Picchu, the Lost ‘City’ of the Incas (and guinea pigs)

Z-Man — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 14:10:17 +0000

Wow, my photo looked just like the brochures

Through another set of uninteresting events I found myself in Peru with (having travelled there via Amsterdam and La Paz, Bolivia). I thought I shouldn’t waste this opportunity by spending all my time in smoky bars and decided to [...]

Team GT — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:05:14 +0000

Our good colleague andyfied is not the only member of his family to be a seasoned travelist. He has found and transcribed some of the letters and journals of his Great Uncle Melville. Many of these papers are in a poor state and most of the dates on them seem to be obscured by blood, [...]

Review: Limbe Zoo, Cameroon

Z-Man — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 06:35:34 +0000

Through a set of random and completely and utterly uninteresting events I ended up in Douala, the largest city in Cameroon with a spare day before my flight home in the evening. So rather than waste the opportunity by spending a day on the internet in the hotel (or indeed a [...]

What Have You got in Your Pockets? | Part 1

andyfied — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:11:44 +0000

Just because the authors on this here travel website are Gentleman and Lady adventurers, doesn’t mean we’ve had an easy upbringing. The Captain was brought up in a gutter with 27 other families (it’s part of why his favourite number is four) and the Major spent 8 years thinking a [...]

More Bangkok Nights

andyfied — Sun, 17 May 2009 20:59:03 +0000

After travelling through Russia, Mongolia and China during winter, and especially after the worst snow storm China had seen for 50 years, I was ready for some warm weather. Thailand seemed to be a good choice to hang out while I organised gainful employment. I was really running low on money at this [...]

Sack Them/Government Stealth Tax

andyfied — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 12:21:54 +0000

So as snow causes transport problems around the UK, people are looking for someone to blame and summarily sack. Since it’s a bit hard to punish the weather front that caused it, fingers are again being pointed at transport bosses and the government for failing to expect the unexpected. Of course if tax [...]

A gentleman explorer, probably of the highest order – Captain Oats is a man of absolutely no military standing at all who currently resides in Her Majesties London. Heed his words, for they are the words of a man who has, ‘seen too much’, or [...]
