Yak Links When Claude started pedaling, the Web was just developing. They got acquainted in Beijing and still get on rather well together.

There is more than one way to get from a point to another on the planet. Just as the Yakman's way extends further than mere dirt tracks, his network is much wider than a mere Web site.

Links are the living soul
of the Web. All along his journey, Claude has collected a good series of them, some centered on bicycle travel, others simply on travel. Put together, they are good examples of what can be done with little or no equipment, in the middle of nowhere, if someone has just a story to tell.

Mainly developed at CERN (European laboratory of physics), the Web is also a Geneva native. Now an incredible collection of sites that surrounds the world, it is in constant evolution. Claude knew very little about it when he started pedaling around the globe, until he ran into the Redfish guys.

It doesn't take a long time to get enthusiastic with a Yakman around, and they easily fell into the Yak trap. If only they had known... All along the Yak journey out of Asia, in Northern then Southern America, along African tracks and European roads, they kept the site alive, relying on whatever Claude and the people who met him could send.
Mainly developed at CERN, the Web is also a Geneva native A long list of links also found its way on the site to let readers know about fellow travelers, good addresses, information repositories and all the various resources the Web has to offer.

The Yakman and Redfish collected a large number of links still visible in the travel site section, all put together and maintained by Redfish. We'll be glad to add links to your site to add on top of those submitted by Claude himself. Some sites also change with time. If yours is mentioned there and you want to submit new information, we'll be glad to update this page.

A broken link is like a puncture: it's not a big deal, but it's better when it's mended. Yak links have been updated as well as can be, but if you run into dead links, please notify me to help patch this page and keep it alive.
