I'm now back at ...

Well I'm getting quite excited now! last night I met Colin, Wendy, Leigh and Sarah, 3 of the team that will be riding with me. They were all really nice and Wendy had even made me a leather waistcoat but I might have to cut down on the doughnuts as it was a little snug!

It was good to meet them all and we discussed the trip, what gear everyone was taking and what the weather would be like. I told them that the sun always shines up North! but I don't think ...

Well, I arrived down in Kent safely yesterday and have now settled in to my new home for the next couple of weeks before we set of on the trip.

and will blog about her progress.

I've always thought about blogging and sharing my experiences with
people out there but have never got round to it. This movie has somehow
convinced me to start one! (and you too Vishal!!) and what more than to start blogging about

Then a trip to London to see my darling housemates (ok, ok, so we don't live together ...

... and a break in the middle worked out well. Bizarrely they had a brochure titled "Canterbury Cathedral and Australian Connections". I can't really remember what they were but there was about 14 of them, such as "this guy from Australia gave us money" "this person from Australia worked for us" and in one place they had the Australian coat of arms. The church itself was beautiful, and did I mention huge! As with all ...
