In the last two days my bike has imploded. Having had no punctures for 600 miles I've had four in 50 miles and a ripped tire. Coupled with the atrocious weather it's been a tad frustrating. Especially when a Brum, while nicking my milk, starts telling me that she doesn't understand why cyclists moan about the rain. Apparently it cools us off. Probably a bluenose. In a line from Cambridgeshire to Bristol I climbed seven county tops - Beds, Bucks, Herts, Wilts, Hants, Berks and Oxon. The last one - Milk Hill in Wiltshire - in a hailstorm. Was going to head to Wales on Friday but change of plan because there's nowhere to stay. Instead I'm going back to Cheltenham, my old Echo stomping ground, to climb Cleeve Hill, then Worcestershire Beacon and Clee Hill ... read more

I'm in the U.K and it's 2006. Hooray! So, I know I said "Africa", and I know that "Africa" is different than "England", but these things happen, bear with me, people say one thing and mean another; it happens. Fortunately for all concerned (i.e. the entire free world), I AM in fact heading to Africa, on Wednesday in fact, but I decided it was, one, cheaper, and two, more in keeping with the adventurous spirit of my plans, to get a one-way ticket to London and then fly to Africa from there.

So Myself, Leeza, Frenchy and Sammie all managed to get the same day off and headed to Bristol on a train for a day of Shopping and Drinking. It proved to be a funny day with Leeza and Frenchy being themselves and cracking us all up. We got to Bristol after an hour and a half on the train and thought we would catch the ferry along the canal to the city centre. We jumped on the ferry and was told to get off due to too many people and a bigger boat was on its way, so half an hour later we actually made it to the centre. There didnt appear to be too much there but walked around a bit and found an Aussie pub again and this time they had the typical kiwi ... read more
