Mudguard wheeled off into the sunset yesterday morning. Um. well, OK ... not sunset, but you get the drift. He was supposed to get to Manorbier last night and Dale (at the very far tip of south west wales) by tonight. I expect he'll get there in no time - one rotation of the wheels on the mamoth bicycle must cover a good few meters. We had a great visit, and even came up with an idea of mounting a cross-bow on the front of a bike. I hope he hasn't seen the news this morning... the Swiss Army has announced that they're winding up their bicycle-mounted platoon. Mudcat was just telling me what a great troup they are!

Anyway, he says that he'll try to get in touch with us in the next few weeks - some of the hostels have cyber-cafes. He's not sure if he'll get as far as Bron in Welshpool ... but, as he's flying back from Birmingham in 3 and a bit weeks, I'd think that would be a convenient stop for him....

Anyway, he's off again on his Great Adventure!
