Hi Peter.

Your dog experience sounded horrific. You seemed to manage it very well, but….
Watching over you, take care!

@Alistair, Hi, I followed your trip and contacted the DT but never heard back (probably not persistent enough?) Any plans to make another tour?

@Henning, You would also have found the energy to cycle the remaining 50km. Sleeping at borders is never really recommended – glad the wind was in my favour.

Hey Peter. I admire your perserverance. To get up on the saddle again after 140 km takes a strong mindset. My heart jumped when reading of cycling in a minefield. I am imagining the feeling of cycling into the unknown of a desert. Or, into western Africa with all the history, and ongoing, of conflicts.

Stay healthy! /Henning

Hi,

Remember me? I’m the guy from the Daily Telegraph (or at least used to be).
I’m back in the UK now, having reached India just before xmas. I’d just like to say thanks for lighting the initial spark that led me to buy a bike and to set off. It was an awesome, unforgetable experience, which certainly got more enjoyable the further I went.
Good luck with your trip and keep up the good work.

Alistair

Just had to tell you, I think your web design is by far the best I have seen of any touring website and your photography is quite good! Looking forward to following your adventure.
