Born 1964. Leamington Spa UK, moved to Oz in 1967. Spent most of my childhood running around the bottom half of WA. Joined The Royal Australian Navy at 22 and left after lots of travel and ill health at 42. Now just making the most of life, making new friends. I now have a shiny new recumbent tricycle and am assembling all my camping gear into a home made bicycle trailer. I intend, on Jan 1 2010, to leave Melton Victoria and head west via The Great Ocean Road and circumnavigate Australia , mostly following Highway One. It will also be a charity ride, collecting donations along the way for Camp Quality.

Movement


There is movement at the station,100 wires have been soldered, with no grounds..
Im hoping for 30 kph and 50 km range,
Its time to go and waltz with Matilda,
and go home on the Grange.

BOXING DAY


When most families are winding down from Christmas day and watching the cricket or the Sydney to Hobart Yacht race , I will turn the pedals for the first time in the direction of WA.

My heart is racing as am I to get everything done by then..

My assisting motor should arive by weeks end, allowing me to climb hills without busting my already weakend lungs.

I am in the prosess of packing boxes and sorting stuff to go in the trailer.

Love to All
Phill
