Sat in a freezing Edgeley with a miserable grey sky. Its 6 days until departure, complete lack of planning and organisation so far by me but thanks to my mates (well really Mi Si, the spy who lied) i'm nearly ready to go exploring, seem to recall wanting to be an explorer when i was a kid - its only taken me 34 years, and so far im not a very good one, still haven't planned any route haha. House is nearly empty, thanks to Mum, Gav and Bert for all their help. Right thats enough cheese - Next stop Manchester Airport 15.03.12 yeah
