Cycling in Ireland | Jeremy Seal
Cyclists from Europe's and America's more bustling corners are delighted to discover an abiding truth behind that familiar giftshop postcard - of a flock of sheep blocking a road above the caption 'Traffic Jam in Ireland'
Ethiopia | Jeremy Seal | Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, Addis Ababa
You don’t so much adjust your watch in Ethiopia as reconstruct notions of time measurement from scratch. The Julian Calendar puts the country back seven years and eight months, making it 2000 at the time of writing
'The drinks service is now closing,' announced the steward. He somehow resisted add-libbing an ironic 'forever'; BA 103 was starting its descent towards Tehran, capital of the Islamic - and alcohol-free - Republic of Iran
'So you’ll be going up there, you will?' said an old fellow among the hubbub, thumbing at the mountains through a crumbling ceiling yellowed by smoke
Only in FNQ | Jeremy Seal | Australia, Queensland, Cape York
Make no mistake; Cape York is tailor-made to satisfy the most expeditionary appetite. To bad roads, big crocs and the Papua New Guinean screw-worm fly add an impressive cast of snakes and spiders

The Lycian Way | Jeremy Seal | Turkey, Mediterranean, Antalya
The Lycian Way switches alluringly between uplands and coast to include high pastures and shoreside villages, historical ruins, magnificent turtle-nesting beaches and even a mountain summit
Turkey's Santa Trail | Jeremy Seal | Turkey, Mediterranean, Antalya
Turkey is closely associated with Christmas, and I don’t mean the feathered variety; Santa Claus came not from Lapland but from Lycia in southwestern Turkey
Turkish Gulet | Jeremy Seal | Turkey, Aegean (Bodrum Peninsula), Bodrum
It was like being in a floating villa, but a fully-staffed and blissfully breeze-cooled one, complete with the scent of wild thyme and pine off the mountains
Walking to Petra | Jeremy Seal | Jordan, Petra, Petra
There are exhilarating, sometimes challenging day-long hikes along hillside paths which some local Bedouins – the ones who have not yet acquired pick-up trucks - still use to move their livestock to the summer pastures
