Slightly better news today, The specialist thinks that Liz should be ok with a much more minor operation than we first thought.

She should be out of hospital soon and then we'll look to get her some Physiotherapy.

New departure date penciled in for September, aiming to start our Journey in Canada.

In the mean time we'll need to find new Jobs as unfortunately our old ones are no longer open to us.

Glad to hear its not that bad!

Been following your story/website since we met at the HU Meeting in Ripley in 2012 (I had pink hair at the time I think;). Tried to contact you via your website, but that didn't seem to work so I gave up in the end.

If it makes you feel any better we didn't set off this March as planned either. Had a few troubles completely deminishing our already rather small travel funds, so we have postponed till March 2014 now. At least this way we have more time to prepare (which is coming along rather slowly due to work being rather stressful :(). But I'm exited like a kid before Christmas anyways :D.

Oh and we have a website now as well: followingtarmac.

Really hope to bump into you guys somewhere on the globe :mchappy: Wish you all the best and good luck!

thanks for the message, I hope your trip gets off the ground, It's better to wait to do things right.

Are you guys likely to be at HUBB in May/June as we're here for the summer and as long as new jobs allow we're now planning to be there, be good to catch up.

That's intresting, I'll have to look at the contact us links on the website to see if they work then.

Your website looks good I'll book mark it when i get home.

Good luck with your adventures.

Matt

Hm, doubt we gonna come to Horizons this year, although we really want to... after all we're supposed to keep saving :( maybe we'll pop in on one of the international ones somewhere and tell our story so far ;)

If you're ever in London, give us a shout! bier

Fantastic Mister Fox 12 Apr 2013 12:55

If Liz is up for it, we're aiming to be in London on the 21st (next weekend) for the Ace Cafe, Adventure and Overland day.

It was supposed to be our offical departure point but obviously that's no happening.

Thanks

I'll be at the Ace on my MT350 on the 21st

Hope to see you there

We've got a new blog up on the site just briefly explaining what has happened to Liz's Knee and how our plans have changed:

The Importance of Plan B

also tonight between 10pm and midnight we'll be talking about all of this on the overland show on BIKERfm - UK's Internet Radio Station for Bikers, It's more than just music

Greatto see and speak to so many of you at Hubb UK last weekend, and those that we met and have plans that may coincide with our our own we look forward to sharing travel stories and a Beer or two on the road.

There is a new blog on the site please take a look around.

Not Quite the Winter Weather We Were Expecting

Anyways we hope to catch some of you guys this year at Either HU Canada West or HU California, and if technology allows via a live link to HUBB UK.

Hello from Canada, The spring thaw is well underway in whistler, Snowboarding at 26 degrees is awesome. Well in 15 days we start riding north to Alaska/ NWT/ Who Knows so we thought we put up a blog about the final few months of the Whistler Winter.

I know we have been slack at the whole updating the blog thing, so we're a littl behind. Liz had a whoopsie a couple of weeks ago and unfortnately thats kept her of the bike for a few weeks. In the mean time however we are getting some articles up on our website, and here's one about what we were up to in June.

Northern BC, Yukon and Alaska June '14

Happy riding and keep the sunshine on your helmet:scooter:
