Wheels Keep Turning ...

I'm not sure we'd fit the tandem onto a gondola anyway!

Natalie and Jim joined us from Scotland at the weekend and have already proved their worth. On arrival Natalie washed Charlie's clothes and Jim knocked out a five star breakfast with only one pan! Years in the RAF must have taught him the skills and his culinary timing is on par with any top chef.

Another plus about Jim is the fact that he is a gadget man just like myself.

We've spotted a few on our journey so far including an automatic toilet seat cleaner, a restaurant pager that buzzes to let you know your food's ready and this pop-up kettle which has been put to good use!

Jim continues to use his domestic and cooking skills to amaze us. He managed to put up three tents, hangs a washing line and washing and then cook a three course tea, all in a space of an hour! Natalie managed to sleep on a fir cone and Lotte chased a cat across the campsite at three in the morning. Lotte and I laid some daisy seeds at the campsite before we set off.

No target today just 50 miles and wherever we lay our hats! Dave & Lotte x
