Today is the final preparation day before I leave the UK – back end of August with a rough itinerary and a small handful of cash. Have to say the bike looks a lot better than this now after 2 months of total refurbishment by Mike, couple of minor niggles to get sorted today and after a Sunday panic had the frame section welded on Tuesday… bit last minute for me but learning to just go with the flow… and there are not many MOT stations where you can strip down bits of your own bike and rebuild before they do the test… many thanks to Castle Garage.

Goin and The Duke of Lancaster
On August 10th, 1979, a former Sealink passenger ferry called “The Duke of Lancaster” was beached at Llanerch-y-Mor in North Wales. Until she was converted into a car ferry, many claim she was one of the finest vessels afloat at the time. But perhaps their was a more “protective” reason for her design and installation – what ever you believe, DuDug have recently been repainting her and one of my favourite images is The Council of Monkeys by Goin.

Norway and Eastern Europe
Plans are afoot for my big 50th and the long tour I have always dreamed of – route is in early stages of planning all I know for certain is I leave the UK on 8th June and have to be back at work early September.
