WhirlWind Week!


This has been the most extraordinary week ever!
On Monday, I sat with a good friend and took a trip down memory lane. As we flicked through the photo's of my last cycle down to South Africa, I began to remember all the people that were kind to me along the way, The beauty I have seen, the challenges I took and the feeling of knowing I am going to do it all again in a months time.
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I have a complete Techno Phobia. In fact, I have been referred to as a 'Dinosaur' more than once. The thought of putting this blog together worried me more than any trip. Nevertheless, here it is! I could not have done it without the help and Kindness of good people and friends. Even those I have not met. It has completely overwhelmed me.
I just hope I can complete my Quest and give you as much detail as I can along the way. I hope you enjoy my Journey as Much as I will.
Today I have done a couple of hours cycling. I have taken to leaving the camper at work and using the bicycle to get from place to place. Over the next couple of weeks, I will be stepping up my training and getting myself fit for the road ahead.
I love my new bike!

  7. Go, Andy, Go! Can't believe you are doing it again! Maybe I'll meet you in Cape Town this time around - I'll probably be there about the same time again (but I'm flying!). Meanwhile following the blog (very impressed with you!). Good luck, travel well! From an old Nepal walking friend, Chris (Armstrong)
