We cleared Weymouth docks and could have been packing anything as we tipped out without realising there was no customs. The ferry was quiet and despite its costs the internet didn’t work on board. We arrived ten thirty pm and stayed at a friends for the night. We spent the morning clearing the shower waste.
We pottered home on country roads through Winchester and Guildford. Stopped in Weybridge to visit my mum and say hello. I was told off for not sending postcards. We got back to Teddington and had tea and crumpets. Then it was goodbye after 11 months on the road.
Home again.
Bike to bed.
We did indeed do it.
Goodbye boots.
Now to start the awaiting jobs round the house. Its been emotional……

So, the crazy bikers are home safe and sound. Well done on a very successful trip. Not many do it on bikes! You truly are an inspiration! Glad to have shared some of your travels with you, Mt Etna will always be a favourite day of ours.
Thanks for keeping in touch with us and taking us on the Etna trip. As well as all your other hospitality from the mother van. Real beds are lovely !

Many thanks Phil will send a draft copy. Am very busy doing home stuff. Incidentally Mike Carters book One Man and his Bike is a good travel book but cycling round Britain.
Thanks Phil. Quite a bit of interest in the journal. Just decorate the lounge , sell the bike, service boat drives, visit mum, organise kids etc then start. Will keep in touch. Incidentally One Man and his Bike by Mike carter is very good.
