Your magical M25 memories

18.05.12

We encountered horses, sheep, foxes, and cows; we had friendly conversations with dog walkers, road workers, and farm hands.

On our fourth morning a cyclist appeared on the road and and announced he had been following our walk through Al's Twitter feed and had actually come looking for us so that he could invite us back to his house for a cooked breakfast!

Another evening a city commuter invited us to camp in his garden and appeared at the door the next morning in his boxer shorts with two cups of tea.

Finally, after seven long hard days of four junctions a day, we made it back to the Dartford Bridge.

A traffic policeman in a patrol vehicle blocked our way told us sternly that we were not allowed to walk across but then took pity on us and gave us a lift to the other side in his car. We had made it!

This winter I'll be embarking on a 3,500 trek mile across China, for which the M25 expedition was certainly great training!

Outdoors: Plenty of myths exist when it comes to outdoor survival

Corvallis Gazette Times - May 18, 2012

I'm presently carrying an emergency bivvy sack, which in design at least is a great leap forward from the traditional blanket, but it is wispy and its ability to repel heavy rainfall is questionable. Kummerfeldt's idea about heavy garbage bags may be ...
