He can hope, but I remember reading about Nick Sanders cycling round the world in 80 ndays some years ago. In fact Nick has a homepage which mentions two round the world trips, he took 138 days in 1981, and 79 days in 1985. http://www.nicksanders.com/about.htm |

Why does he see this part of his life as some how having been given up (other than that it is now the past.) Colin |
