Thursday 6 December 2018 Puerto Madryn to Viedma, Argentina – 275 miles A day of straight roads, the slightest bend was a welcome diversion. For the first part of the journey I was travelling through a sparsely populated wilderness. The only real evidence of mans activity was the road I was travelling on. As the […]
Penguin Colony
Tuesday 4 December 2018 Comodoro Rivadavia to Puerto Madryn, Argentina – 350 miles The first part of the route in the video is incorrect, still worth a look The Penguin Colony at Punta Tomba was worth visiting, despite the gravel road. Once I left the tarmac there was 49 miles of gravel to get to […]

The land of fire
Monday 26 November 2018 Puerto Natales to Cerro Sombrero- 210 miles Today’s ride takes me to Tierra del Fuego, across the Magellan Straits. The 20 minute ferry ride was surprisingly smooth, despite the ever present Patagonian wind. On route we passed some ship wrecks. Not ideal when you are about to get on a ferry. […]
