My Return Home in 2004 Well, I made it back! And while it's fantastic to be back & to have completed such a huge trip, I wanted to carry on! Apologies for the delay of this report; I've just had to deal with over 3 months of post!!! A superb greeting awaited me on my return to Corfe Castle, not least of which was the police escort down Corfe's main street!! A lot of people were in The Square along with a Bournemouth Echo photographer. So at approx 2.15 on the 21 August I found myself back at my starting point after 3751 miles and 105 days. Just a small bike ride, then! Ironically, the last day's mileage was, I think, the worst ever! An appallingly low 11.73 miles!!! Mind you I did get up to a dizzy 31.3mph down Kingston hill! In the evening there was a party at the Royal British Legion - hurriedly brought forward a week due to me being too fast! There I stood up and thanked everyone for all that they had done: Mum, for funds, looking after my house, the buffet and other homecoming arrangements. My brother, Chris, for research,sourcing & total funding of the fabulous Xda II internet mobile phone (which was also my entertainment centre, camera, video camera, album, dictaphone, calendar & messaging centre!) My good friend and may I say moral officer, Oliver, (Sir) for the website & all associated work, not to mention a lot of co-ordinating work too! My equally good friend Steve for building the trailer and, at short notice (and when they were busy) putting up a marquee at the Legion and doing a disco to boot! Gordon Smith, the chairman of Corfe's Legion, for the excellent police escort! All the businesses that had contributed (please see sponsors page) In addition, Dragons Bakery, in Corfe, had made a cake for the evening party, with not only a map of Britain on it, but also a photo of me at Lands End in edible ink & paper!!! Brilliant! Lastly I thanked Mike (Davies) - the events co-ordinator at Swanage Hospital - for his support and help.He then spoke about the new Out-patients Department at the hospital. Then the cake was cut!! And a good time was had by all. Then I went home to a real bed ! (not as good as the camping mattress!) When's the next trip..........?!! Soon, I hope - it's been a week now and it's weird being in the same place all the time.
