As expected, there are many who STILL have their heads stuck in the sand on this topic and cannot (for some peculiar reason) understand the basics of what I have said.

Let me put it like this...............
When we plan our bike trips it is because we want to do the trip itself and enjoy or endure the many experiences we have along the way. End of story.

Yet there are those who talk about percentages of what "real" writers get and how they are automatically entitled to x% or y% just because they rode a bike somewhere. Get it into your heads folks.......YOU RODE THE BIKE WHEREVER YOU RODE IT BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO DO IT!! However for those of you who reckoned you were onto a money-spinner...... go and sell your story and your world-beating photos to a publisher. I can tell you now that there will be a long queue of people wanting to sell and not too many people wanting to buy.

If you don't like the offers being made by TWO or similar publishers then don't do it, don't sell your priceless work of art, don't share your unique photos. Keep them at home in a box under the bed, take them out from time to time and revel in your own brilliance, stick two fingers up to the world because you are the "superwriter" they will never have the joy of experiencing. And keep telling yourselves that all of nothing is better than a bit of something. Because some of you are exactly the type of people who would actually believe that!

For those who you who replied to the initial posting by TWO with a degree of common sense......it's a big thumbs up from me because I suspect you are the real adventurers and travellers.
