By now friends are thinking I'm insane. Everything is now ready for the 1st sept when I will be leaving Portsmouth for Spain and Africa. Oh by the way my right knee is giving some pain as the consultant warned me it would but when i'm on the bike it does not hurt - answer stay riding the bike. A Moral to this entry - never give up on your dreams, it's always achievable if you try!
I prefer to travel on my own, meeting the odd person along the way. I always think it makes you master of your own destiny and you're not stuck with some pillock who is a pain in the butt.
