Oh my gosh, only 21 days to go until our 2,500 mile journey starts (yes this is a self photo of me and the biker babe!).

In preparation for our tour I took the Fogg Hog out with the Mrs on the back in her biker babe gear, after grumbling it was too cold to go in the rain. Blow me she actually enjoyed it, practising hand signals (2 shoulder taps mean stop, 1 punch to the head means I ignored the first request). Unfortunately it then took 3.5 hours to get the mud off and polish the Hog.

All we gotta do now is get our limited clothing ready (a small ruck sack each only), finish planning where we are actually going and try to leave our jobs in a position to tick over.

There will be daily blogs while we are there of all the things Mrs Fogg wanted to go see and how many punches to the head I got!
