Have you no shame, far too subtle IMHO

A gang of pikeys would lay a road in an afternoon..give 'em £10,000, you pocket the rest, sorted

Now get the pleading/begging back into the Gambia thread please

A morning which is approaching far too quickly!

Had to make a couple of changes on the luggage front, I'm keeping stuff to a minimum honest but need more space.

Have you fitted a new battery? Nothing worse than planning a big trip and the m/c won't start the morning you set off

New Odessey was fitted in June, so should be ok although you just never know.

Fingers crossed

My mate was met by just a "click" as the magnets fell off his Valeo starter on the morning of his departure... luckily he had a couple of days in hand to get down here.
Disappointing for all those that turned out at 08:00 to wave him off though

Are you lot trying to put the scud on me?

Roger – good skill with your trip. If you have never been to Gambia before, spending time with these people will change your life.

I have some great memories form my time there, I cycled from UK to Janjanbureh where I worked for 10 months setting up a clinic to vaccinate infants. Take lots cheap Bic pens and small writing pads, they are excellent rewards when people help you out. I gave a leather football to a school where I was teaching, I still getting letters from the teachers at that school 17 years later

I am sure they would have resurfaced the South Bank Road since 1992, if not; take care of the large vehicles wanting to share your less pot-holed part of road. If near Dakar take some time to visit Goree Island (UNESCO site) more than 30 million slaves passed through the compounds enroute to US and Europe.

Hi Roger, many thanks for the Gambia stickers, they arrived this morning

very nice too, have a great trip and stay safe

Cheers Graham

Packed, fettled and ready for the off.

Leaving here about 8 this evening heading for the ferry to Birkenhead. Will have a few swallies and an early night, Birkenhead docks at 6.30am in the current climate should be interesting

Thanks to all who have helped in so many ways over the last year, it's much appreciated believe me

I'll be posting as I go and people on here will know where I am but under the current circumstances I'll not be able to do the daily blog I'd planned, reports will be delayed for reasons of security and to stop my creditors finding me.

Ride safe you lot, I'll be in touch!

 

[John Armstrong]

Travelling light then

Have lots of fun in the sun

Just out of interest, these creditors that are after you, you're not a Cypriot who owns a credit card payments clearing company .....

 

[Kenny]

Birkenhead/M53 all OK...my road is 50/50...so tea/
toast at 07.00hrs....just throw a snowball at my bedroom window to get me up.
Is it dark at 07.00hrs

At least I can help you off the bike !

Edit:- Side roads on Wirral far to slippy so he went straight onto Haydock to meet up with others...at least I got a lay-in and extra toast !!

 

[DrFarkoff]

Oi I Hope you have plenty of ACF 50 or waxoyl on the front cover! and the ally bits with the amount of salt out there the poor fecker could dissolve before ya get thru Engerland!

Ride Safe O thunder cheeks and Lang My Yer Wotsit Reek!
