In June 2018 I went to Corsica in the Mediterranean, rented a bicycle and cycled around the island.
It was a stunning fortnight on one of my favourite islands in the world.
Below is a visual rundown of the anti-clockwise journey around the island (navigate via right/left arrows or click here to see the album on Flickr)
