Mid Party Emergency Blog

 

There are only a few things that would make me break away from a ‘post raid’ party with a hundred or so French University students but the need to taunt English Rugby supporters is one of them……

Queen Victoria was the monarch when Scotland last managed four wins in a row against England in the Six (or 4 as it was at the time) Nations  competition in 1896.

Morocco it appears has some fairly stringent internet search rules when it comes to trying to download photos of hairy arsed porridge-gobblers bearing their nethers, so thanks to ‘the boy’ for sending this on……as I stated in my very first blog a month or so ago, ‘There is nothing sadder in life than a missed opportunity’😜

The trail over the High Atlas to Taroudant beckons tomorrow, can’t wait 😎

    For a result like that it was worth tarnishing my internet search history

The Intended Route (part one - To Morocco)

A Good Traveller Has No Fixed Plans and Is Not Intent on Arriving    Lao Tzu (c. 500 BC) Fair point, I can see where young Lao was coming from but to plan on spending 9 weeks wandering aimlessly across North Africa would be barking even for me! That said whilst I below show the outlines of the plan, it will be subject to change....frankly if I am enjoying a particular vista*/find a great eatery*/get invited to some Berber rave*/break-down*/get pissed*  (* delete as appropriate), I may decide to stay in a particular area for a bit 🙈🙉🙊 The Starting Point Every journey starts somewhere and for me that is the fantastic community of Kirkby Malham in Malhamdale, North Yorkshire....the map below may help orientate any soap-dodgers who were not geographically blessed at birth. A truly beautiful dale with the Cove at its head and the village itself a truly caring and inclusive community with (as all great English villages), a parish church and a pub, 'The Vic' (do make the...

The Intended Route (Part Three - Decompression & Decontamination)

 Spain - and the Return Assuming I was not declared persona non grata on the first transit, I am intending to get back to Algeciras at the start of week 8 of my travels. I then have a week or so to get myself hosed down from the worrying image I have of the beast I may have turned into before a welcoming pint back in the Dale. After an obligatory stop in Gibralter for a decent pint (or at least a pint), t he route back through Spain will take in some of the places I have never been but have always wanted to......Grenada where I can't wait to see both the Alhambra... and the Bohemia Jazz Cafe....one of Spain's legendary traditional Jazz bars 😆 From there to Madrid, where I am meeting up with Ian Maitland (a dear knuckle-dragging mate from Leeds Beckett Uni), and his Dad (the real man of interest), in Madrid for a few wee drams and a taste of what the Capitol has to offer. All that remains then is a return trip battling hurricane's and killer wales in Biscay before driving b...

Mid-century Crisis or exercising my right to say F**k IT

A great friend of mine when she heard of this trip accused me of having a mid-century crisis ..... I strongly disagreed! Over the past few years, I have felt like I was in a kind of prison, not one with barbed wire and snarling hounds but a metaphorical one where I was tied down by the responsibilities of work, generating filthy lucre (with no real aim of what to do with it); I felt trapped and it was impacting my mental health (and making me a miserable bugger at the same time).  I had huge support from colleagues at Leeds Beckett where I worked and from my family and friends and the outcome of a really difficult year was a great one, one where I saw real possibilities and where I had a much better appreciation of where we were as a family and how much we really had achieved.   This lead me to the point where I said F**K IT (the capitals are intentional), I took the opportunity to retire early from the University started working in charcuterie with Chris W...
