The
plan is quite
simple - Ride a bicycle from England to South Africa. I left in July

reach my goal. This travelogue will be updated once a week with news
from the road,
so be sure to keep coming back to www.davestravelpages.com

18/09/06
- Those mountains through Romania were very hard work, and my
legs are aching just a little! I'm across the border now in Bulgaria,
where the alphabet has gone all weird on me, and people nod and shake
their heads the opposite way.
10/09/06 - I'm now in Romania, and cycling towards Draculas castle in
Bran. The countryside is truly beautiful around here. I'm still a long
way from South Africa, but I'm getting there slowly!
31/-8/06 Another update to the travelogue, this time from the capital
of Hungary, Budapest. Talking of hungry, I have this sudden craving for
a bacon sandwich.
24/08/06 - Well, that's a month I've been away now. Doesn't time fly
when you're having fun? Still following the River Danube, and one day
away from the Slovakian border. Check all the latest,
and for those interested in statistics, look at the boring
statistics page.
14/08/06 - I didn't think my wet weather gear would get this much use!
Where's the sun gone? I've now started the River Danube Cycle Way, and
I'm quite liking Germany.
08/08/06 - I am now on the German border and only three days away from
the start of the River Danube section. Over 1000kms of cycling done
already!!
02/08/06 - I am out of England and halfway through France,
and have
added another
update to the travelogue, and put more information on my rough route
page.
26/07/06 - I'd just like to thank everybody who made it out on my
leaving do, especially the lads from work and the Bush Pigs.
A
great gig guys, and some incredible dancing moves from Matt!! I'm still
in England, but not for long as the cycling trip to South Africa gets
underway.
17/07/06
- All my injections are done, and malaria tablets bought, but the
dentist informs me that i need to have a filling... marvelous! My
worldly possessions are now in storage at work, who i must say have
been
very good about my travelling bug... thanks guys! On a more serious
note, there are huge problems in the middle east at the moment.
Wouldn't it be nice if the people of the world could live together
without wanting to kill each other?
23/06/06 - A month to go!! I've
had
my first two doses of the rabies vaccination, and have two more to go.
I've
handed my notice in to the landlord, and let work know. As I type this,
I'm looking at my bicycle and wishing I could start cycling to South
Africa
now! Help
spread the word about this travelogue, and make me your homepage!
03/05/06 - The India
Travelogue is now finished and online, spread out over 9
pages. For an overview of my thoughts after my India experience try
this.
09/04/06 - A departure date of 23rd July 2006 looks more or less
certain now. I was also pleasantly surprised to find that my website
now
has a Google rank of four. Hopefully, this will mean more visitors, and
more people clicking on the various adverts around the site. Who knows,
hopefully I will get to the stage where I can earn an income big enough
to travel full time !! Find out about Google
Ranking.
