Europe’s just desserts, ten standout puddings

February 24, 2020 Jack 0

My least favourite part of a meal is dessert… unless there is something which awakens the sweet-toothed child that slumbers within. And there regularly is, no matter where we travel around Europe. […]

A wash in the woods, the joys of forest bathing

February 5, 2020 Jack 0

Enter a forest and an unseen entity gently detaches your problems and deposits them at the treeline to be collected, or not, when you depart with renewed spring in your step and a glow in your heart. […]

Hotels with personality, Waldhotel Fehrenbach in the Black Forest

February 11, 2019 Jack 0

I could give you a raft of reasons why the Waldhotel Fehrenbach in Alpersbach, little more than an extended meadow in Germany’s Black Forest, sticks in our minds as being a hotel with a stand out personality. […]

Adjusting to rural transport around Europe

January 16, 2019 Jack 0

As we specialise in hiking we regularly find ourselves in areas where figuring out how we’re going to travel to, or return from, a linear walking route using whatever local transport is available can prove somewhat of a ‘suck it and see’ exercise. […]

Europe

Up close, Alpersbach in the Black Forest

August 9, 2018 Jack 0

Where and what is Alpersbach? Google defines it as a river in Germany. We know it as an oasis in the depths of a dense forest – a scenic valley in the heart of the Schwarzwald (Black Forest). […]

Germany

When snow covered Germany is warmer than Tenerife

March 5, 2018 Jack 0

As we gingerly step from the warm train onto a freezing, sleet-blasted platform we know there’s no way we’ll escape hypothermia if we attempt the 15km route around the lake dressed as we are. […]

Dish of the day

Dish of the day, wild boar sausage in Freiburg

August 22, 2017 Jack 0

Game dishes in the Black Forest go together like sausage and mash. In this case wild boar sausage with mash potato, plus bacon, gravy, a hill of red cabbage, and, possibly to foster the illusion there’s a healthy element to all this, grapes, pear and cranberries. […]

Why Germany is a perfect match for British travellers

April 11, 2017 Jack 0

During four visits to Germany in the last three years we’ve regularly repeated one phrase. “Brits would love this.” […]

Getting to Know the Green Old Town of Freiburg

March 3, 2016 Jack 0

It’s one of the most relaxing cities we’ve wandered around, the car-free streets are soothingly calming. Being a university city, Freiburg also has a youthful personality… […]

Atlas Mountains

Lunch on the Run in Hiking and Dining Destinations

January 21, 2016 Jack 0

When we put together walking routes, there are certain ingredients which make a trail memorable. These include scenery with the impact of an uppercut, curios along the way (the odder the better) and, vitally important, a homely hostel… […]

Footfalls to the Future, the Art of Walking

January 13, 2016 Andy 0

When you’re walking long distances, your feet find their own rhythm, allowing your mind and ears to fall in step so that the act of putting one foot in front of another becomes a vehicle for your thoughts… […]

Deciphering the Code of Wise Men in Germany

January 8, 2016 Jack 0

The latest trigger for the alarm bells going off was spotting a series of letters and symbols chalked above some doors whilst we were hiking in Germany. […]

Travel Moments, Finding Narnia in the Black Forest

December 29, 2015 Jack 0

In the depths of the great Black Forest it was easy to believe we were back in a time where fairy tales didn’t seem quite so fantastical […]

The Black Forest is Germany’s Gastro Hike Destination

December 10, 2015 Andy 0

If I’m honest, the words ‘Germany’ and ‘gastronomy’ have never readily coupled in my mind… the reality of our experience versus our preconceptions was both wide of the mark, and on the nose, in equal measure. […]

Gran Canaria

Our Five Favourite Walking Routes of the Year

December 7, 2015 Jack 0

In a year packed with trails leading into forests, volcanic plains, gorges, valleys and along mountain paths these are five routes which stood out from the rest. […]

It’s Tenerife but not as you know it – THE BANANA ROAD by Buzz Trip’s Andrea Montgomery

Click to buy The Banana RoadWhen Andy and Jack buy a small house on a pitch ‘n’ putt golf course surrounded by banana plantations in the north of Tenerife, they encounter an eccentric neighbour who hints at a double life as an espionage agent; the Disney Gang; and a white cat with no tail, and a penchant for torture. An arrest and a sudden death turn their world upside down and open the door to a series of seemingly unrelated incidents. As Jesus takes up residence in the bottom of the garden and paradise begins to unravel, the shocking truth is finally uncovered and Andy and Jack face losing everything.

Portugal off the beaten track – Camel Spit & Cork Trees by Buzz Trip’s Jack Montgomery

Camel Spit & Cork Trees is an evocative travelogue covering areas of Portugal that still lie below most visitors' radar. When travel writers Andy and Jack Montgomery swap Tenerife for Portugal, they embark on a journey that takes them from the Algarve's honey-coloured coastline to the verdant valleys of the Minho, and from life on a smugglers’ trail in Alentejo’s border country to a farm beside a cork forest near Lisbon...
