The Big Send Off

I am close to my trip now and am excited at the prospect of travelling all those miles, be it by motorbike, car, push bike or foot.

It really has been a long time coming.

As I have mentioned I have learnt and relearnt many things about myself since the start of this project and keeping my interest going during the darker moments has been tough. Many a time recently I've thought, damn it, just forget it and find a well paid job and nice house. But I'm still going and about to burst into action once again.

I don't think I've ever waited so long for anything in my life, certainly not a man!!

So to help me on my way I am having a few drinks on 1 April, venue to be announced. I hope you will all be able to make it, I'd love to see you all. The memory will be there with me in my darkest moments during the trip. I'm sure I'll have times when I feel quite lonely but I can then pull your images from a folder in my mind.

Besides you have to come if only to say, 'Oh for God's sake just go.............'
