It’s been in the pipeline for over 2 years, but the waiting is now almost over!
With 2 days to go I’m now the proud owner of a rucksack and sleeping bag (along with a couple of other bits and bobs). I’ll sort my insurance and I should be pretty much ready to roll.
The last 2 weeks have witnessed some of the best parties Manchester has to offer. I’ve caught up with some amazing friends and shared some disgusting drinks… a guy couldn’t ask for a better sendoff, but man alive am I ready for a holiday now!
As I’m sure you are all aware I’m not one for planning itineraries (or much else for that matter), so the next year or two will be an adventure of the highest order. There are a few key sights/locations/events that I definitely want to take in, but other than that I’ll just be living impulsively, going with the flow of natures current. I’ve met some amazing people on my travels and I’m positive that this time will be no different. Let the good times roll!
To sign off my first (and rather sombre… that’ll soon change) post I’ll leave you with the words of The Boss:
This train
Carries saints and sinners
This train
Carries losers and winners
This Train
Carries whores and gamblers
This Train
Carries lost souls
This Train
Dreams will not be thwarted
This Train
Faith will be rewarded
This Train
Hear the steel wheels singin’
This Train
Bells of freedom ringin’
This Train
Carries broken-hearted
This Train
Thieves and sweet souls departed
This Train
Carries fools and kings
This Train
All aboard
So final call… all aboard the fraytrain!
