We have 2 pieces of very good news we’d like to tell you all. We have 2 pieces of very good news we’d like to tell you all.

The most important is that Georgie is now pregnant – the baby has already been exposed to the throb of a BMW engine – got to get that training in early!! The baby is due in February 2006 – we’re both very excited, but scared - this big adventure is more difficult to back out of than the last!

Secondly, the travelogues of our trip to Japan and back have been published as a 360 page book, along with lots more previously unpublished stories, dozens of colour photos, 160 black and white photos, maps, etc. Have a look at:

Thankfully the reviews are good:

“It's an excellent read, very natural and genuine. Recommended!”

“a great read for every real GS'er”

We hope to see you all on a trail somewhere or you can give us a wave as you pass the baby-clothes shop.

Simon and Georgie
