Walking Day 5 Amberley to Steyning Huge breakfast to start the day and Mary had gone to the store to be sure I had gluten-free cereal. It was a very tasty one that I wish we could get in Canada. We started out the day with a gruelling uphill that kept going up every time we turned a corner. Then it actually became a pleasant stroll, then a very hot walk and back to a pleasant stroll. Lunch was at Frankland Arms and it was very good and the place was a very TV typical looking English pub. Fantastic views to the channel and to the north from Chanctonbury Hill (not quite a mountain). Not lost even once – asked almost everyone we saw whenever there was a chance of being anywhere other than ... read more

Been a little while between blogs, but ive been busy having a good time. Ive been busy with birthday partys, cricket, then another party, followed by sundays in the pub with suggy. I was woken up at 8am 2 weeks ago tuesday to the surprise of mum and dad rocking up. i followed them up to the lake district and we did a bit of sightseeing and then met up with all dads old team mates from oldham cc. I also ventured into London to meet up with mates from school and we ended up going to royal ascot, having a big day, had a punt on the horse so you think, but didnt win. Another party we had was Lews 21st, which was a good time, a big drinking session. Me and suggy had a ... read more

went into London the other week to catch up with a few of suggys mates. had a night out on the town followed by watching sunderland play already relegated west ham, at upton park. somehow we managed front row seats. the game was rubbish but the atmosphere was good. it seems ive come over here in the ultimate summer, the weather has been incredible and were looking at another month of 25 degrees plus. also all of brad and lewys mates seem to be having a birthday every wknd, so were out celebrating. i still havent been able to have a match winning performance in a game yet which is frustrating, but hopefully tommorrow is the day. the weekend just gone we had our second trip with the other stingrays, this time we were in worcester. ... read more

what a trip, wrong turns, no sleep, freezing cold, thousands of people, a amazing dawn service and a very memorable experience. it started terribly in england with the plan being that we all meet at the place im staying, and get a taxi to gatwick airport. it seemed to be going to plan with three of the 5 at the destination, until we got a phone call from fordy and Jb who tell us that they got on the wrong train and are now headed back to bristol. they asked us to come pick them up, but we would have got lost aswell so they had to get an expensive taxi to gatwick airport. us three who were ready to go, Suggy, Shaun and myself head off to meet the wayward travellers at the airport. we ... read more
