Hi,
My old friend Richard who almost rode part of the LEJOG with me is a big cheese among Quakers (should that not be big chocolate bar or big porridge bowl?). Anyway he asked me to do an online diary this week as part of a Quaker outreach week. Apart from this diary I had to do a video clip - I look so old in it the light is not flattering but it was first thing in the morning. Anyway Fenia who has viewed the clip says its fine. The clip is actually posted on YouTube!
Anyway as my other friend called Richard says 'If it floats your boat' visit www.quakers.org.uk/sing. Don't worry I am not actually singing in the clip -
"I'm singing in the clip, just singing in the clip..."
It's a mad busy autumn but I hope to set a date very soon for the final bit of my LEJOG so watch this space.
Best to all,
Bill on bike

Back from Kenya
Hi,
Just back from an 8 day work visit to Kenya and feeling jet lagged. I dreamed of a cycle trip in Kenya maybe around Kilimanjaro mountain but this would take some organising and require some back up. Or maybe I will find someone else organising a trip.
And I have yet to complete my own LEJOG. I hope to set a date soon for the remaining 200 miles - watch this space. Money is still coming in for my trip some of it already pledged some new which is marvelous. People in Kenya were pleased to hear about my trip. I took lots of photos and hope to some available on flickr in due course.
Many Kenyan ride bikes sometimes carrying extra ordinary amounts of goods on them and often a second person behind the saddle - saddles I noticed are very cushioned which figures when you see the roads. I would not like to cycle in Nairobi - the cars are too scary and the roads are so bad and busy.
I'll write more with some extracts from my Kenyan diary soon including my encounters with a snake and a crocodile!
