Oxfam & I say thank you!

A great thank you to everyone who supported my fundraising activity! Having done the UK bike tour for charity – Oxfam in Germany – led to an amazing 1,361.82 € in donations. As I found, my initial target of collecting 1 Euro per mile of cycling (i.e. 1,000 €) was quite optimistic already. I’ve never [...]

Please help me supporting Oxfam Germany!

UPDATE – NEW PAYMENT METHODS AVAILABLE!! Dear friends, family, colleagues and other supporters,  After more than three years, the time has come again: As mentioned in the previous post, my bike is calling, and I’ll go on a cycling tour again.   An appeal for everyone – Please support my fundraising action: http://www.helpedia.de/spenden-aktionen/lejog Even though challenges and [...]

Hello again!

Well, well, my most loyal readers of this blog and all those who’ll hopefully soon become loyal again: After quite some mileage, I’m finally back again. Obviously, I’ve not just been driving around during the past two years (quite the opposite actually). But I guess it’s true that Gwyneth and I live in the Bavarian [...]

Updates to the Blog

I’ve made some slight changes to the blog, mainly added some categories or features. Check out the links on the right hand side (“Favourites”): All you shouldn’t forget about my cycling tour from Calgary in Alberta, Canada to Anchorage in Alaska, USA in June/July 2007 – it continues being interesting. The whole story can be [...]

New photos online!

New photos available on www.karl-martin.de –> Favourite Links: Photos (or alternatively: http://martinkarlphotos.wordpress.com) And, watch this space carefully, I hope to finally find some time soon again to update this blog within the next 1-3 weeks with some new stories, reports, updates, information and more. There’s definitely no lack of interesting stuff that’s been happening or [...]

Where have I been?

Some of you might have asked yourself whether I’m still alive. Believe it or not, yes, I am. All’s good, it just seems that I lacked some creativity and time to provide you with some news and tales on my Blog. In order to give you a chance to catch up with what I’ve been [...]

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, everyone! Soon, there’ll be some new stuff online again – I’ve been busy, am recovering from a minor operation, and have been all over the place during the last weeks, that’s why this blog languished a bit lately. But I’m sure the Easter bunny will provide me with some new inspiration Martin

A day at the airport

Warning: People who are afraid of flying better don’t read this! Well, it wasn’t all that bad in the end. But let me start from the beginning. After a few nice days visiting Gwyneth and her family in the flat country (aka Holland), I had a flight back to Leeds from Schiphol airport in Amsterdam [...]

Present no. 2 – email notification about Blog updates

Sorry that it took me quite a while to update my blog again. University (exams, beginning of second semester) and my travels which I talked about in the previous posts kept me quite busy. However, to make up for it, I’ve got another – late – New Year’s present for you: as you might have [...]

My new year’s present for you

As three people were courageous enough to tell me that they don’t really like Webshots, the online platform I used to upload my photos onto, I made a change in the new year and am going to upload all of my photos on Google’s Picasa from now onwards. If you prefer that, you can direct [...]
