We’ve returned from our annual weightwatchers trip. Where we (my future wife and I) (try to) shed a few pounds, we decided to use our bikes this year.
The plan: To cycle the Sustrans West Country way bike route from Bristol to Padstow. A 300 mile part traffic free route which leads us from Bristol to the quiet and country lanes of Cornwall.
We camped throughout the journey, apart from our night on Exmoor where where had the luxury of a B&B in Dulverton.
The trip took us 6 days from start to finish, covering 3 sets of interesting hills – The Quantocks, Somerset. The Exmoor National Park, Devon, and various Cornwall hilly bits.
We were covering about 50 miles a day on average, and carrying around 80 litre capacity clothing, food and camping equipment.

One interesting statistic was that it was thought 20% of America’s iPhone users were at SxSw. There were a lot of iPhones, and Apple products everywhere you looked. It felt like being part of a community just by having similar gadgets with these folks.
I really loved the openness of the event, it’s true – you can sit next to a Vice president of Yahoo! on one side and an A list web celebrity on the other.
After reading Mr Nice, which was a fantastic insight into his ‘high’ life and times, I discovered Howard Marks and I have a few things in common, here they are:

All of us were in this situation at one point, not knowing how and which direction to take. So I feel it’s good karma to pass on and share this knowledge.
