I am sorry that the blog postings have been a little erratic in the past few days, but as I said right at the beginning of this magnificent bloggo journey the CFZ are a research and animal welfare organisation first, and a media one a long way second.
This week our itinerary was absolutely ridiculous:
THURSDAY
Woolsery to Wraysbury 218 miles
Wraysbury to Grant Museum, London 28 miles
Jon + Richard lecture at Grant Museum
FRIDAY
London to Wraysbury 28 miles
Wraysbury to Woolsery 218 miles
SATURDAY
Woolsery to Yeovil 92 milesBugfest
Yeovil to Wraysbury 114.77
Wraysbury to London 28 miles
Dr Strangely Strange
SUNDAY
London to Wraysbury 28 miles
Wraysbury to Crews Hill, Enfield 37 miles
Visit the grooviest tropical fish shop in the universe (or at least Middlesex)
Crews Hill to Sedgemoor Drain services 176.28 miles
Sedgemoor Drain services to Woolsery 88.86
A total of 1057 miles plus at least forty miles wandering around London to and from hotels to venues and stations and restaurants. Not bad for an old crock like me, ably supported as ever by his beautiful (and completely un-crocklike) spouse.
I would like to thank Max, Matty and Graham for driving about half of the journey, and Corinna for driving the other 500+ miles. In four days we have seen a thylacine skull, a new species of snakehead, some very rare fish, a mouse-deer skeleton, a woman who was brought up in Tibet where the villagers had all seen yetis, several daleks, Captain Jack Sparrow (or at least a reasonable facsimile of same), and have introduced young Max to the delights of psychedelic folk music. Andy Roberts and I got all emotional at seeing Kip of the Serenes played in its entirety, and in Wraysbury we saw the world's worst shed.
How have YOU spent your last four days?
PS. Normal service will be back by tomorrow evening, although tomorrow lunchtime's posts may be a little late..
