Off we go tomorrow, though it doesn't really count as there won't be a lot of cycling. I'm taking the train from Cornwall to London then cycling (with trepidation) across London, and on to another train to Shenfield in Essex. This will be the most linguistically-challenging part of the whole trip as my Dutch, German and French will hopefully prove adequate.
Staying overnight with dear Arf and Janet then the overnight ferry from Harwich. Holland should prove refreshingly flat after the somewhat challenging terrain of southern Germany last year.
We've had a couple of weeks of really rather nice weather in Cornwall, so possibly not the best time to leave, but you have to go sometime, don't you?
Hope to see you on the trip.
Hallo Dear
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you got off to a flying start, unburdened by what slaves to convention describe as "essential" items.
You know me, a song in my heart and a portable trouser press and I'm ready for anything.
Have a great time and may the wind be always at your back. Not trapped in your cycling shorts again.
Cheers
Phil
Thank you Philip. What can I say? These things happen, but at least it's cold and miserable.
