Machu Picchu, Machu Picchu, thats right, thats what im talking about!!! Nice one mate, reminds me of Caerphilly mountain a bit, but seemingly with less sheep. Sent you an email the other day by the way, check your bad inbox! Peace:)

Hi Mabbutt!! Unlike you, I have had a problem with climbing of late... especially stairs. Well done for getting to the top! I would have to stay at the bottom and watch!!!!

Well done mate - you conquered Machu Picchu! And in a Spurs t-shirt too! Unfortunately, the Spurs programme has already featured someone up there, so you'll have to wear it again when you climb Everest!

Was it a chicken disguised as a guinea pig? xxxx

Hi mate looks like your having fun I think I know why the altitudes not affecting you... its cos your not as high as the rest of them! Im typing this with 2 broken fingers and a fractured hand so appreciate my effort nicholas!! Enjoy Mate and stop eating rodents its just wrong!

That sand boarding looks fantastic mate, im incredibly jealous as the closest thing to a ride like that ive had this weekend is being falling down a step out of a west walian kebab house!! It was a bit of a slide let me tell thee! Anyway Im glad to see you have a good array of buddies around you, keep having fun mate. Take care. x

Hi Mabbutt!! Just watched your sand-boarding video and laughed loads!! It looks like so much fun! Hope you're having fun... how's the hair growth? xxxxxxxxx

You remind me of a young indiana jones, i shall follow your adventure with interest and maybe make a film about it. x

Hello Darling - sorry I missed your call - I was out with people from work. Have been in studio all week and am really jealous - looks like you're having a brilliant time. I love reading about your adventures. Hope all the stuff is useful. Look after yourself. Miss you. Lots and lots of love, mummy xxxxxx

Yo dude, sounds like you're having an amazing time. Bit jealous but the weather's improved and I love London in the sunshine! Keep having a fabulous time and keeping us all up to date with your philosophical musings. Love Ruth xx

Check myself! Bale signs for Spurs and Keane agrees new five-year deal. Just returned from Cardiff - the old town hasn't changed. Hope things are good.

Remember my words of wisdom before you left, 'Nobody likes a smart arse...' right, so no smarting your arse or no arsesmarting alright!

And i echo the words of the big man, keep us posted cos we worry about you you roving hippie. Peace brother;)
