motorbiketrip: Upping sticks and downing tools

Disclaimer: Due to the number of comments that have been received it has been felt necessary to clarify that this trip is in no way based on "The Long Way Round" which the authors of the trip were not aware and nor was it first broadcast of at the time at which this trip was drunkenly conceived. The authors of this trip would like to distinguish their intended trip from the journey undertaken in "The Long Way Round" in that unlike Charlie Borman and Ewan McGregor they are not experienced riders (they have both only been riding motorbikes for just over one year), they are not receiving sponsorship and they will not have a support crew with them at any point on the journey. Just to avoid any further confusion it has been thought that it would be helpful to point out that Tom Horovitch and Peter Caley are both fictional characters and are not famous film stars.

Upping sticks and downing tools

After a tough two weeks of decorating, moving my stuff to my brother's flat, sorting out a host of problems including foxes under the flat, leaking pipes and mysterious foul smells, I managed to rent the flat out and move in with my father in Crouch End. I then handed in my notice at work the next day.

Many thanks to Peter (who put in a monumental effort with the move and the decorating), No Handed Dan (for his masking skills), Richard (who did a great job on the ceiling and the bath), Francis (for the storage space) and of course my Dad for putting me up and putting up with me until June.
