Finally back in the world of the rat, complete with 2hr public transport commute and a shiny new job - the excitements already worn off!!

Arrived back last month from Sydney, having cycled from London via Europe, Asia, SE Asia and Oceania. A whacking 25000kms - one 2 sets of tyres, 2 sets of disc brakes and dehydration, farmers tan and £17000-ish in donations towards BBC Children in Need and Cancer Research!

The highlight of the trip, probably the finish lol - seriously Thailand - good food and lots of smiley people. The hardest stretch was through the Oz outback - 3000km and bushcamping the majority of it! The best roads were, surprisingly, Pakistan - 1500km of 'smooth as silk' highway.

Oh.. and 12 months or perpetual summer - shame it's grey and rainy back in London.
