Will nominate Kev for a sainthood on return for help in packing bikes although resembling a mechano set was not to difficult re-assemble.
Some stress when negotiating the myriads of motorways while jet lagged. Did hit panic level when Monika took over the driving - her last effort was on a tractor in Benalla some 20 years back !
Having made Honiton I promptly planted a papal kiss on the ground realising that i might yet make another birthday !
A sense of real adventure is now upon us - Monika's drive and determination has been instrumental in bringing her to this point - helping Belinda and Anne in Oz and Parkinsons in UK will be a great motivator for her
ps
Have decided to forego plan to cycle with kilt / commnado style in Scotland following recent freeeze !
In June 2011 I will bike over 2000km's unsupported from John O'Groats to Lands End UK ! My motivation is simple i.e. 1) To undertake a life challenge that is physically and spiritually rewarding 2) Raise funds to help 2 worthy local OZ causes - Painting with Parkinsons & a local 10 year old girl with Autism named Maleah 3) Promote awareness and support for Parkinsons UK ! Any support is greatly welcomed. I hope my journey inspires others !

hi Monika
been thinking of you and wondering how you are going. I hope the book has arrived because I posted it over a week ago.
Make sure you keep safe. I suppose you are getting very fit by now and we won't recognise you when you get back! i wasn't surprised to see that Mick has been writing to you. He is always so supportive.
love
Anne
