Well the time has come to depart these shores to the land of Oz

after 32 years up North I'm finally going to the South on Wednesday for quite a while.

I'm going to miss
The Rain
Insects you don't need to be scared of
Pints
Riding Borrowdale and many other things

I think I'm going to enjoy
Riding in dust
Not changing as many bearings
sunshine
BBQ's
and a slightly more laid back way of life for the next 9 months of career break...

And I'm glad I still haven't ridden the Ranger Path or most of Scotland or heaps of the Alps as it's always worth having something to come back for.

Riding in dust

[s]Not[/s] changing as many bearings

Surely these two go together quite well 😉

Good luck on your travels, and never forget good old Blighty!

Launceston! You won't miss the rain then. Won't see much dust either! Enjoy anyway.
