Haha, thanks! In fact the crab got itself stuck in a crack in a rock (usually you can't get within 5m of the buggers). Think the camera was about 5mm from its face - the poor thing was terrified i guess!

Lovely photos
Love the crab photo! Was it good camara zoom or just a very friendly crab?? Makes me want to go back to the Galapagos already!

Great blog
Hi there,I followed your trip after coming across it by chance..a great website idea,seems it was easy to upload the photos where ever you are too ,which makes all the difference.Thanks for making the effort,pretty inspiring.Definately like to visit Scandinavia now...don't know if I could handle all that solo cycling though as I guess it can get pretty lonesome out there on the road! Let us know when your next trip is,as I'm sure a few months back here will inspire another trip abroad pretty soon. Anyways, thanks again..given me lots of ideas to get out abroad more..cheers,Aleks

Thanks for a great and inspiring travel blog. I only bumped into the blog, as I'd also bought myself a Ridgeback Panorama. But definitely the stories and photos are such encouragement for me to get some miles in, and then get out there for my own adventures. Thanks.

Rim sizes? I assume 700c/26 variety rather than the other rim?

Surely a final spin to Dundee will bring a symmetry to the trip? Or you could crash at mine if you want.

I recently bought a bike like yours, and...
... I've been following your adventure from the start. One word (for now): AMAZING (you, not the bike, although the bike seems to have done ok).

I'm from Scotland, currently living in the lovely city of Edinburgh. My blogging started in South America (5 months) with a bit of Alaska (1 month), then a 2.5 month cycle trip around the North Sea and up to Narvik in Norway. Since then, Kilimanjaro, Everest 3 passes, and a few other smaller trips in Scotland. Most recently i've returned to Peru for one more hike (the one that almost killed me).... full info
