We took a little detour :-)
Reasons why I don't blog :-)
Well, we are back. And as can be seen I went into my usual "its a computer ... urgh" mode. I am adapt at spotting internet cafes, but then walk away quickly.
1) I don't trust how secure systems are.
2) Based on (1) I can't be arsed with doing the copy/paste thing for PWs.
2) I can think of better things to do with my time :-)
Piccies and route to follow later, having camera problems.

Plymouth is a long way
Especially if ou go through Wales, follow the border and get lost.... twice.
Getting out of St Helens was a farce, we hit a large trafic jam and bcause I had the panniers on the bike could not filter. I indicatd to Jean to turn round and go a different way. I forgot her Ducai had the turning circle of a tanker!
We got separated, and then there ensued a comedy of errors as we went round roundabouts missing each other by seconds, eventually we both stopped long enough for me t see Jean.
Ho hum, here is to getting lost in Spain... which is looking wet :-(
And so far it is not as warm as the USA :-(

For those that are wondering, Black tags are where we think we are heading, Blue are where we are/been.

Ready for the off - not!
After all the planning and preparation that went into our last trip (3 months on the motorbike in the USA) we seem to be in a much more relaxed mood. We leave for Spain/Portugal tomorrow and all our kit is strewn al over the floor, sort of ready for packing. No pre-prep lists, just packing from memory of what we remember we needed.

In the begining
It had to happen sometime, I would be drawn into the world of blogging.
My intention is to use this blog to allow people to keep a track on my travels by motorbike, not a day to day effort but more a "whoo hoo <waves> we are here" type of way as I prefer to do trip reports/write ups when the trip has finished.
Past trips can be found at http://www.ytc1.co.uk
Future planned trips, not counting rallies, are
2008 - Spain/Portugal - 2 weeks(ish)
2009 - Baltic states/Russia - month
2010 - Central and South America - 4 to 6 months
