FROM THE ROAD
The journal.
Every episode, in order, as it goes up. Plus the ones that are still only a plan.
Season one

One episode is up. The rest are listed here before they exist, because a plan you can see is a plan you can be held to.

Choosing the school
Picking an off-road course that will take a loaded 1992 Dominator instead of handing me a light school bike.
Coming
Motilla del Azuer
A Bronze Age tower over a sixteen-metre well, two hundred kilometres south, built during a drought that helped end two empires.
Coming
Into the Alto Tajo
The deepest river gorge system in Spain, on the Trans Euro Trail, two hours from the front door.
Coming
Menga
The only dolmen in continental Europe built to face a mountain shaped like a sleeping man.
