no rain last night, but a nice breeze which helped with the heat set off on my own, but hooked up with Kim and Canadian Kevin, before the David train came through and we jumped on the back of that…
Riding the beach – take two (Stage 55)
another thunder storm and downpour over night – glad all the rain is coming while we sleep off our island at 0600, hotel breakfast, made a packed lunch, set off at 0715 end of the spit – bikes on one…
Back to the beach (Stage 54)
pretty good night’s sleep, with hardly any noise and no neighbours backtrack to busy town on my own Canadian Kevin caught me, then David and Eleanor – stayed ‘on the train’ till around 55km when I needed to eat (they…
Man rest day
Not the best night’s sleep I ever had – I woke around midnight to discover I had a couple of mozzies in my tent and they’d been biting me which meant that not only did I have to find and…
Day seven of seven – phew! (Stage 49)
Back to Plan A which is that we’re going to be staying at the hotel which all sounds vastly superior to me! It also means I don’t have to worry about navigation because the gpx track I have on my…

Loitering in Labe (Rest day)
It took a while for the drinkers in our group to call it quits, and for the boys doing the washing to get everything done, but once that was all done it was nice and quiet and cool in my…
A day of three halves (Stage 33)
Relatively cool and blissfully quiet last night which made for a great sleep. There’s also lots of the wild marjoram which grows in these parts round the edge of the field we’re camped on which makes for very fragrant night…
Time for a new country, let’s try Guinea (Stage 31)
Such a fantastic sleep last night – it was cool, it was quiet, it was dark, even a little rain on the roof at times – oh so much better than last night at disco hotel! Today was a pretty…
Squeaky, clicky, clanky and flatty (Stage 29)
Squeaky: it sounds like someone’s attached a cage of canaries to my front wheel – I think it’s the front wheel bearings that have got a bit dry, presumably as a result of their salt water bath last week Clicky:…
