I wonder if there's a sensible route (ie, that doesn't go anywhere near London).<BR/><BR/>Geo: hehehehe<BR/><BR/>Adam: yeah, i didn't get rained on until about 9/9:30 at night, and by then i was so hot, sweaty, and filty it was rather enjoyable to get sprinkled on. It kept the dust down on the path, if nothing else.<BR/><BR/>Beast: the blister is completely gone, thank you.<BR/><BR/>Frobi: I'm glad you enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>Ziggi: the delight is mutual, dahling! *muah!*<BR/><BR/>Farty: dude, that is so cool! i had no idea such a think existed! I'll have to go see it sometime.Moominmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11750304448922417139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896529.post-70701885248288903442008-08-03T22:15:00.000+00:002008-08-03T22:15:00.000+00:00I'll have to come down and visit.
