About the Author
After graduating from Edinburgh University with a Masters in Geography, I decided to avoid getting caught up in the rat race and set off to walk from London to Istanbul on a whim. 5,000 kilometres, 2 pairs of shoes and a fractured leg later I crossed the river Bosporus into Asia. Needless to say I got the adventure bug and have had itchy feet ever since.

Haven’t stopped laughing at the thought of some ‘dude’ sharpening your pace into a withdrawal at a rapid rate (Note: we Brits withdraw not retreat like some from your next country en route)
For the great diary (& plug to Andy’s parents for the kodak) a bit of dosh has been added to the fund. Stag On!
