Despite a dreary Cornish morning and warnings of more bad weather to come, the sun poked from behind the clouds for most of the afternoon. One awful hill approaching Exeter aside, this was a lot less troubling. We saw a 15% gradient sign of a fairly steep climb, but we'd done far steeper already. Rolfe got another puncture. Plymouth is a bit of a dump and all its traffic lights were on red. We reacquainted ourselves with the other End-to-Enders the Exeter Youth Hostel. No-one had given up yet. 64 miles. Just over 5 hours in the saddle.... read more

Well this whole idea of blogging is new to me. It should allow you to stalk me without going on facebook, and for those without facebook to gain stalking abilities! There is a feature on this site where if you click 'subscribe' it will send you an email for when I have updated this page. hopefully over the next 6 weeks I'll be able to put up some photos and give you the low down of what I am up to, be sure to leave some comments telling me how much you all miss me and wish you were out in Thailand and ya da ya da ya.

4.10.08 Caught ferry to Dartmouth down the River Dart, very scenic and peaceful.

Classic town with narrow streets, village charm and right on the water - an estuary comes in. Did a nice walk up the bluff. Did more busking in Dartmouth. Not a bad income here for getting some practice time in, something like $18/hr. Apparently the Queen was in town for the day - it was her 60th wedding anniversary. Apparently she had met her husband in Dartmouth way back when. It ... read more

My First Blog by Hollie aged 23 and 1/4. After months of wistful dreaming and not a lot of planning I am just a few hours away from beginning my Great Adventure. I am setting off to Japan to feed my curiosity, to Australia to fulfil a life's wish and to New Zealand to take in the view. I first went travelling in 2006. After finishing my three year degree at Cardiff University and wasting the following summer watching daytime television and internet surfing, I set off for five weeks with my good friend Lindsay. With our inter-rail tickets in hand we spent an amazing time visiting cities across Western Europe. For me the travel bug was well and truly hatched. The plan of moving out of the family home and getting a proper career (dum ... read more
