Kev's World

Hi youze lot !

Paul, Kev and Mike after a big climb !

1 month down and nearly 2000 kms covered. The bricklayers have been assembling over the last few days and they put up a bloody big wall which I hit a few days ago at Slieve League on the ride to Killybegs Ireland. The day included 1600 metres of climbing and I'm sure there were at least 48363 hills of 20% gradient!

The old bones are starting to creak and groan a bit more each day.

Mike and I have just completed 7 magic days in the emerald isle and some if the scenery from the coast to the Mtns has been special - to match the best of the trip so far

We joined up with Paul Tierney , an Irishman we met on the Tibet trip last year, who somehow expected me to stay in the same county as he and Mike - fat chance ! One of my panniers weighed more than Paul, his bike and his gear combined !
Anyway they need to show more respect to their seniors

Whatever Litchfield publishes on the blog site is totally, utterly, completely and entirely fabricated with not a thread of truth - my lawyers are currently compiling a giant lawsuit which should get his attention when he gets home! I am though open ton-settlement offers

We have 8 days left on the Uk leg with 4 days in the Outer Hebrides which could rip the crutch from my nightie if the wind and rain spring up - anything is possible in this rugged and isolated part of the world

Looking forward to the massed bagpipes of the Edinburgh Tattoo - then it's off to Europe for what's sure to be a brilliant trip with Viv, Linton and Kim.

I do not want to hear anymore reports re the AFL this season has been shelved - comprehende Leedham!

Hope everyone is well and making the most of the 20c temps in Melbourne - that's warmer than here!

Take care - best wishes Kev
