    After his mega trip round the North Sea, Jan Smit sent us the following update:

    "I’ve finally found the time and energy to type some lines on my laptop. After 8 weeks on the road it is not easy to sit behind a desk in front of a laptop all day.

    Even cycling 100 miles in the rain gives more satisfaction :o)

    I arrived back home on Thursday 6th August after cycling a total of 5365 km without a single puncture and still on the original tires (wouldn't pass MOT though!)

    I only had to replace the paddles (ball bearings worn), some brake- and gear cables and the rear brake pads.

    What can I say about the whole trip?

    - interesting (landscape),
    - dangerous (some parts of the road),
    - beautiful (met several nice Norwegian girls cycling part of the same route),
    - hot (heat wave in Norway - not related to the previous - although?),
    - exhausting (25% hills in North York Moors),
    - pleasant (meeting other 7 club members),
    - wet (Scotland),
    - windy (Denmark and Orkney),
    - quick (flight from Bergen to Kirkwall),
    - disappointing (campsite in St. Andrews: pouring rain, cold and windy 'sorry, we are full'),
    - satisfying (arriving home safe and sound and no serious problems with the bike!).

    Many thanks to Ian, Martin and family, and Phil for taking the time to visit me. And a special thanks to Ian for promoting the NtL entry in BlatChat and all his extra work to keep the members informed. Thanks guys, it kept me motivated all the way.


    Meanwhile almost all outstanding pledges have been collected: Grand total: £1861.00 My sincere thanks to all those members that contributed to the good cause (= NtL) ."
     
     
     
    Well done Jan! It sounds like an excellent trip and it's raised so much money for NtL too - thank you and everyone who donated!
