Following in Father's Footsteps...

While visiting my mother today, I had a chance to look over a very early 'blog'. In 1935 my father wrote and illustrated a log book of a cycling trip he and a friend made across Southern England. It's interesting to see that I'm following in his footsteps. More than 70 years later, I'm categorising my own adventures. I maybe slightly further afield with the aid of new technology, but I'm still keeping up the family tradition.

To him cycling away from the East End of London to the unspoilt Sussex countryside was just as exciting as it is for me to have moved to the other side of the world.
