Great stuff, biker!  Decent weather, good camping at good prices, good food-drink-company, reliable bike -- what's not to like??!!

Thanks for the kind words.

I love reading other people's blogs and info about tours so thought others might like to see mine.

one thing i found good about actually doing a blog ( apart from letting others see ) is that you have a reference point to look at in other trips. for example , i've done this (similar) trip before and forgot the name of a campsite and or mileage to it and the cost of things . Having the blog done i can access it when i'm out there.

thanks again !

The only thing I didn't spot on your blog was a map. Maybe I missed it.  As a cartophile I think in pictures!

HI Geocycle

we didn't use GPS or anything modern like that so don't have an actual plotted route.
It's a nice idea to put a map on there though. I'll have a word with my mate and see what we can come up with.

cheers !
