Internet At Last

Well, here I am in Worcester. Famous for...not having any internet cafes! Very nice lady at the Worcestershire History Centre has let me use theirs.

Actually, Im not going to say much today because I didnt plan this very well. I came into town from the campsite about 4 miles away without my notes of all the Fascinating sights and adventures encountered on route. Poor planning, I know, but after 52 miles cycling in the blazing heat over moor and mountain (do they have a winter skiing season in Warwickshire because it seems to be all hills - and all of them up) carrying about 50kilos my brain was a bit addled. I just made a dash to the bus stop to get into town.

I waited at the bus stop for 40mins after the due time and then figured that, because of the roadworks al along the route, maybe it wasnt running. So I started to walk and...yes, the bus whoshed past me so I had to walk all the way. Joy.

So, Im still alive and well, and on schedule. Slightly sore knee (from the hills), botty (of course) and oddly, hands. I guess its all the gripping for dear life as I drag myself up hills.

Proper update when I get to Ludlow and my day off (Friday). For now I will just do something new on the Equipment Page.

  5. Niall, if you need any emergency supplies in a remote and dangerous area then I could do an airdrop. I expect you will need more suncream when in Ireland (ha ha ha)
