Hi

I read with interest that this is a first big trip. For a lot of the guys in here who are going round the world and more might say, what you worrying about. But this is a long way and as a first big trip would be exciting in any case. I suppose its like a pilots first solo, ask a pilot and he'll tell you every detail of his first solo regardless of whether he flies a 747 or A380.

It's see your off to Benalmedina. In 2008 I took my UK bike from Scotland through french alps, Italy, Monaco etc across to the same place. We have a friend who has holiday apartment there. My wife flew from Manchester and we met there for a few days before I buggered off to Morocco which is only a few hours away. Coming back I drove Malaga to Bilbao and ferry back to Southampton.

I was talking to Ted Simon last year and one thing he said which has stuck in my mind. I think I can quote him roughly, " if there one thing I learned in all my travels around the world, the most important one was, not to worry. It will always work out, someone will always help, or things will turn out just right" or words like that. My memory is not too good. But anyway, he said to me (Im planning a Perth to Perth trip) dont worry.


Enough of my ranting garbage. Hope you have a blast.

Are you driving all the way there and all the way back?

Regards
Steven
