I just started reading your blog but I think I’d drop a comment all the same. It’s really entertaining (and distracting!) to read all about your planning stages, and your writing style is superb. keep up the good work!

Football team isn't the same without you - seems like you've been gone for ages, now we have to rely on Jeff to grace us with his long range piledrivers when he's fit! Take care mate. Ben Hi Stoney,

Glad things out there are going well, have been keeping an eye on your journey through your site and it sounds as though you’re having a great time.

Except the Taj Mahal. And Fort Cochin. And Mamallupuram. But seriously, India has this myth around it that it's full of hippy tourists and people 'finding themselves' when in fact, even the places the LP raves about as must sees will often result in you being the only non-Indian.

Glad to see you got to view the real india :0)...and that it still exists! I keep hearing there are lots more tourists and things were not like they were in my day (albeit only 6 years or so ago) which was kind of sad. So, were the plastic bottles are still being ditched/ thrown from train windows then? How is Singapore? Kids send you a big hug too Me xxx Yay!

That is in my 'Top 3 Places to Go List that Doesn't Exist Anywhere But In My Head'! We're in Coimbatore with a busted chain, back brake and a loose clutch... but heading up into Ooty soon enough. Same with us for the Western Ghats, the ride from Kodai to Kochi was sublime, a top memory... cue the next blog! As for <a href="http://www.trailofants.com/photos" rel="nofollow">PHOTOS</a>, yes there is a slight hiccup there at the minute, but when I return the bike and recover all my electronic spanners I'll be fixing it right back up again so I can prove that my couch is nowhere to be seen...!

The best idea you could possibly have made - South India on two wheels (even it does have a motor). Where are you now? If you haven't already ticked off the Western Ghats you can easily spent half your time up above 1000 meters, those winding quiet roads amongst the tea plantations were the best of India for us. Top tip: Kodaikanal and staying at the Green-something-or-other hostel. It floats above the clouds in almost Tibet-coloured sky - a rare thing in the country of smog. The rest's on the blog. The only other snippet I can offer is village roads all the way. On top of the other benefits of getting off the highway you don't end up with a coal-miner's face by the end of each day. So where's the photographic proof of your latest exploits? Since we saw you last you may as well have headed home and are writing this from your couch (though have to admit that description of you and the Enfield was rather vivid) Well, as I couldn't convince you to cycle over the Himalayas again with me I'm not going to do it either. So we're off to Iceland. I know, that's what I said. Hi guys,
