a year on the road in numbers

• 6 nights on a ferry
• 138 nights camping wild
• 3 failed Thermarests (all replaced under guarantee)
• 7 tent visitors (only once human - our favourite visitor being the football-sized hedgehog that somehow sneaked in under the flysheet)
• 112 warm beers
• occasional* tears of frustration
• many* tears of joy
• some* tears of sadness
• 2 incidents of the curious dog in the night
• 17 countries and Sicily
• O nights around the campfire with Gayle playing a tune on her harmonica
• 78 nights with family, old friends or new friends
• 328 meals involving pasta
• 9 visits to Decathlon
• 10,623km pedalled

* these were not recorded and so are difficult to quantify

happy anniversary
