It’s the Goodwood Road Racing Company’s 78th Members’ Meeting and there’s a very eclectic mix of vehicles on show – on the track and in the paddocks. There’s everything from Edwardian racing cars (yes, racing) to Gordon Murray’s somewhat more modern and long-awaited T.50 supercar. It makes a splendid whine as it powers down the […]
A few years ago I tested a Leica, not expecting to be convinced, well this new CX platform Morgan Plus Four is a bit the same – it looks pure analogue with some high-tech additions under the skin, like ABS brakes and Bluetooth connectivity (yep, that’s about it). It’s wind-in-your-hair driving (with the roof up […]
Nineteen months since my last trip to France and it’s like the good old days; queuing to get off the ferry, a stamp in your passport and questions about booze and cigarettes from bored French douaniers. But it’s good to be away; and a pain in the nose before coming home. I’ve never been here […]
Walking 55 miles around the valleys of Glencoe and not seeing a single soul for over two days, it’s just a little bit ironic that my favourite picture of the very few I took was just a couple of hundred yards from the hugely busy A82 artery which runs down the Glencoe valley. This cottage […]

Well, in this house probably both – there has been a new arrival, I’m sure she will appear in these pages more than just this once…
Between lockdowns I needed a break; and desperately wanted to use a camera. With the bewildering quarantine rules and endless travel restrictions the decision was sensible shoes and a big coat – stay in the UK. The seaside at Southwold on the Suffolk heritage coast. It’s a charming small town, dominated by Adnams Brewery and […]
I was going to walk it in April but, again, we all know what happened to April. So from 28 September to 14 October we walked the 268 miles of the Pennine Way – from Edale in the Derbyshire Peak District to Kirk Yetholm, just over the border into Scotland. Each day was a mixture […]
It’s the Goodwood Road Racing Club Spring Sprint – although renamed the Summer Sprint, we all know what happened to April… On the starting line is a Maserati Typo 61, as raced by factory driver Stirling Moss and known as the Maserati Birdcage, after its space frame construction of two hundred small-section tubes. This gave […]
