Day 1 And just like that, another adventure begins. Not before, of course, the oh so very long trek from Melbourne to London. Blah. Come on future! It’s 2019 – where’s my teleportation app? Luckily, […]
2018 Day 127 – Homeward bound
And so it ends. After 127 days, it’s time to go home. England agrees, it seems. In the precursor to Storm Diana, it’s absolutely bucketing down, rendering visibility down to a few metres. Squiz is […]
2018 Day 126 – Truro
Oh wow! It’s our penultimate day. I’m not sure where the last four months went. Just as well I have the blog to look back through – between it and Google photos tracking my every […]
2018 Day 125 – Port Isaacs

2018 Day 121 – Cherbourg

2018 Day 120 – Two can play that game
If you’ve read yesterday’s blog post, you’ll know my views on the fuel protestors in France. And understand that chaos they’ve caused. Given that we failed to arrive in Honfleur yesterday, a sixty kilometre journey, […]
2018 Day 119 – Enough already
