The Hour Approaches...

Welcome Friend!

Thanks to overwhelming demand we have decided to set up a blog to document our adventure and keep you dear donators informed of our misfortunes as and when they happen. The plan is to relay these battlefield reports to you via the fabulous Sophie Armshaw, who has kindly agreed to translate our tired ramblings into a readable form on a semi-regular basis.

So here it begins, I am sat surrounded by various essential survival items panic bought in the last two days wondering how in hell it's all going to fit in the panniers. The trains and hostels are booked, the route loosely set and scribbled in an exercise book; we are ready as we ever will be. At 10:33 tomorrow morning we board a train to Penzance. After that the next time anyone sees us we will be walking like cowboys.

Adios,
Tim
