Lewes > Southampton docks container off & on
Southampton > services now chieveley by M4

Wednesday:

Well done.

My son, who’s the same age as you, passed C+E and he’s loving the life of tramping.

He’s got a good boss who’s there to help him.

Age means nothing in this game - allthough experience counts for everything. So they say!

Sounds like a good one mate is there anything your going to take next week that yu forgot this week?!

In some cases age means nothing, in my case I’m coping well, just turned up 30 minutes early in Telford, time for a cuppa and a smoke!!

Erm next week ill bring more food, spare change, portable kettle & telly, my guitar or something haha,
Oh and a big towel!!

Great photos and update.Buy a bike for those 5 to 6 hour tips with the handball loads they check every box.I would bike off up the green lanes and give the staff my number to call when an hour from being empty.A big water container with a tap makes a good shower.
