You are wonderful.

There are many people we want to thank in connection with this trip.
At the moment we are passing followers' comments on to Greg when he phones. These are most encouraging as he soldiers on through the heat wondering where he'll find a spot to camp overnight, or whether he'll be able to replenish supplies of much-needed  food and water. Often these problems are solved by kind strangers Greg happens to meet. If you are one of these people, Greg wants you to know that your friendly words and/or offers of cold drinks etc are very much appreciated. Most recent thanks goes to Rodney who spent a little time with Greg, and later brought him a bag of cold fruit.

With approximately 200 miles still to paddle, Greg wants you all to know that things like this are what makes the journey so enjoyable.

  3. Message from Ruth - who (as well as being on tenterhooks) is being maddened by the comments process for this blog. Her words:
    "Don't know about anyone else...but I'm in 'suspenders'...keep checking my phone/email/facebook/this blog...is he ok, is he 'there' yet...Oh Greg, oh so well done!!! You are indeed a legend. Rx"
