I find my mind continually drifting to thoughts of my trip which is bit of a distraction to my work to quite honest, with all sorts of questions and ideas rattling around in my skull. So your recent entries Vaughn have answered alot of questions and you have also been very helpful with your suggestions on how to overcome some of the challenges I will experience. However....I do still have some questions so will contact you soon to squeeze just a little more helpful information from you. Your blog will, I know, be so helpful to other budding cycling adventurers and is certainly the best Cape to Bluff/ Bluff to Cape blog by far. I do thank you for that. cheers Grant Southam " Southam Cycles South " Your “how to” additions to your site are a very valuable resource for me as I plan my own trip from Cape Reinga to Bluff in December .

One of my trips resulted from a flip statement to a future employer - I just made the trip concept up as a way to have an adventure before starting work. They loved the idea instantly - which stunned me for a second and then I just ploughed ahead and figured out how to do it. Oh - and Go Granny Pam. I’m a huge fan of the first of these in particular.

I feel quite humbled by the fact I enspired you :-), I just faced life as it was dealt to me. I totaly understand the getting angry part, if you can turn that anger into a positave it is very powerful indeed. XOX Mum Cant wait to read the book! That was great!
