...an excellent night

After the stop at South Mimms, Mugabe and I continued on until leaving the M25 and riding through Epping Forrest and all minor roads... Then it struck me ..... Did I pack the wash kit !!!!! Bugger I did not... So I stopped off at Braintree to resolve the issue ..... Into the pound shop sorted the toothpaste and brush .... Now for the towel.... Have you ever tried to purchase a towel in Essex at 4 in the afternoon... I will resist the temptation to discuss the washing habits of the locals... But it was not easy... But finally the Sue Ryder shop came to my rescue.. £1.50 and I'm sorted with a bright pink towel ?????

We found the camp site at the White Horse pub and after putting up the tent .... Off the the bar where I met with Graham Field and Nathan Millward and a few others for a beer or two... What a good crowd of people... Great fun....

The time now is 10 ish and it is time for bed..... Hopefully a good nights' sleep.....
