We set this site up because we have stories, lots of them from our adventures and challenges we have completed over the years. We wanted one place where we could put everything, mostly for our own purposes. So the ‘Mr and Mrs Adventures’ blog site was set up. The aim of the site was to include all of our past adventures and also start to include the new ones as we do them. This was done in the hope that they give you as much fun reading them, as they did to write (well most of the time).

Our first holiday today, January 1988 skiing in Aviemore.

Since we met in 1988 we have always been ‘sporty’ and majority of our holidays were an adventure. Here are just a few of our times together.

Most of these blogs have been written whilst on the hoof with many of them done late at night after a long day cycling, on a mobile phone, with poor wifi connections but we found it was our way to connect to people mostly our friends and family about what we were doing. Let us explain:

Tim was (is) the blogger. He was first invited to do a cycle from Durness to Dover in 2012, and wanted to raise money for a charity very special to our hearts. No one else in the group seemed bothered about raising money they were doing it for their own reasons. But Tim felt very strongly about this, so, natually he wanted to keep people updated, so ‘Tims Big Bike Challenge’ was set up in 2012. Inevitably, the blog did include other people but it was set up to tell Tim’s story, in order to raise money for the Charity, and Suzanne promoted the blog daily via Facebook and Twitter to drum up interest. Futures for Dogs even came to the finish in Dover to welcome Tim back and to thank him personally for the fundraising.

Realising people found the blog amusing Tim continued to write the blogs for subsequent tours based on his own experiences of the tours:

Durness to Dover 2012 ©

Barca 10, (Barcelona 2013) ©

Old Blokes on Spokes (Genoa 2014) ©

8 in 8 (Croatia 2015) ©

Swiss Elevation (Geneva 2015)* ©

The Swiss Elevation Tour was actually written by Suzanne using Facebook, as Tim had broken a number of bones from a cycling accident a few weeks before the tour started. We are in the process of uploading these blogs over the next few months.

Tim also completed the Viking Tour (Denmark to Dover 2016) without Suzanne but didn’t blog this. The remaining blogs are in the process of being uploaded. If you want to use them, or copy them please just ask.

We then ventured off on to our own unsupported cycling holidays! American Adventure 2017 © and Cycle Taiwan 2018 © . You can find the detailed blogs and photographs updated on this site.

We have also added in Suzannes London Marathon © experience, this was written for Suzanne to read everytime she considered running a marathon again, as a reminder of how tough it was.

Suzanne is currently blogging about her latest challenge which is the English Channel Relay Swim 2019. ©

She raising funds for a charity called Swim Tayka whilst in full training for the swim. Read her latest blogs and if you are able to donate here is the link:

And we are also about to embark on another cycling adventure in September 2019 and we have already started to write a blog about the East Coast Cycle 2019. ©

Cycling continues to be our thing, but as you will see we love to do other things too.
