So I'm sat here on the ferry in the upgrade lounge with free nibbles, soft drinks and wine thinking that if all boat travel was like this I might do it more often. If you ask me again once we are underway my answer may be different though.
Having done a bit of adding up, the number of miles routed over the two weeks was 437.5 we achieved 480.51. So that is 43 miles of wrong turns and ooh lets go look at that. I think if we had realised at the begining that we would be so close to the 500 mark we would have done a few more early on, but we didn't notice until we had only 3 days to go, (each of 40 miles plus,) when it was beyond our reach to do it. Next time we will. There will be a next time but it may not be for a year or two. Hopefully we'll have replaced the pannier racks and maybe even splashed out on some disc brakes, but that is unlikely.
There will be one more post tomorrow with the result of the weigh in for those that voted. After that we might keep the blog up and running with the occasional post about where the tandem goes next but don't hold your breath for an update for a week or two. We want to let the swelling go down first...
