The bike is packed, just about.... But, unfortunately, my riding license is seemingly lost in the post, somewhere in the royal mail network....so once resolved I will hopefully leave, I think I have just about all I need, though I'm now just eager to get moving!

My first night will be spent near Stonehenge, and as I won't sleep at all through the night due to absolute terror of the imminent doom that it is the trip and complete loneliness, I should at least be able to get some hopefully nice sunrise photos of the stone circle.... though I am told we have monsoon weather for 10 days.

So Wednesday departure at best, but perhaps I'll wait until next week, when I can have a better send off from my family (otherwise they'll be in work and that just won't do!).

Ho hum.
