Just had a phone call and a few pictures though from Phil & Susan. They are doing well – enjoying themselves very much but Phil’s achilles and feet are in quite a bit of pain through sore muscles and blisters but he is soldiering on. He’s also revolving his 6 pairs of runners during the […]

Each weekend gets bigger kms! Last Saturday I ran 36km, got hit by a bike and also had to jump over a dog to save myself a fall so I figure that is good training for being out in the bush on the Mawson Trail. May not be bikes and dogs but could be dodging […]

Phil’s notes from the road: Susan and I arrived in Rome picked up new Peugeot 308 and drove through the city to our beautiful hotel. It’s very busy and challenging driving here in Rome. There are no defined lanes so it’s just a matter of finding your own space, surrounded by motorbikes, cars and busses […]
