Which makes me wonder what 7 of 9 looks like and brings to mind these two quotes: "Resistance is futile" and "I am the beginning, the end, the one who is many."
2 years agoIt’s hot again tonight, but hopefully we’re at the end of it for the season. It’s suppose to drop about 15F tomorrow and stay down for the next two weeks.
2 years agoMaybe you can find something like an Ibis Hotel or something with air-con. That really saved us in France. Hot on the road is bad enough, but then spending the night in a hot room can really wear you down.
2 years agoI’m sure that was the problem. Too little ale, and not enough gravy.
2 years agoEven the little lumps are memorable, not always in a good way. I do think though that it’s making the Cambrian Mountains real for us. They’re not just a label on a map any more.
2 years agoIt is getting to be a bit on the long side, now you mention it. I think we just need to slow down and take some time off though. It’s not like we’re eager to return stateside any time soon.
2 years agoOne of the benefits of biking in a dry season, now that you point it out.
2 years agoOdd, isn’t it? Looks just a bit unstable too.
2 years agoWe seem to be long on the adventure front lately, alright. I’m dreadfully ignorant on sheep though - I’ll have to find a primer and study up. Likewise on fleece and wool markers, but now that you’ve mentioned it I’ll keep an eye out. I don’t think we’ve seen the end of sheep quite yet.
2 years agoWhat a day, beginning with your unexpected guest! Other than "greenbacks" lol, can you comment on the breed of sheep you're seeing... and do you notice fleece or yarn for sale? Seems there'd be quite a lot! Always look forward to your journal... beautiful photos/videos, great commentary, and of course adventure.
2 years agoOof. Lumpy lumpy lumpy. No wonder you're feeling it.
2 years agoInteresting style on that belfry.
2 years ago"... strewn with sheep shit"
Best to take that on a dry day, then.
Six months is a long time to be on the road. It all starts to feel more like a familar routine rather than a journey. And that heat is a killer.

I love roads like this. You know you are somewhere when you are on a road like this one. The middle of nowhere is somewhere.
