Leaving late afternoon by train for Cambridge where I'm meeting up with Steve at the end of his day for a journey down to Christchurch in Dorset where we are due to have a meeting with Charlie Rossiter, owner of Rossiter ocean Rowing Boats.
We have already been in e-mail conversation with him over the last month or so discussing Justin's previous conversion of an ARR boat to pedal power and we hope to take this same design to completion.
Road closures and heavy traffic delay our arrival at Oakdene Caravan and Camping Park on the edge of the New Forest, where we eventually pitch up at 22:30 after a hasty meal on route.
Since Steve has recently bought a 'new' estate car, we opt for the sleeping in the boot option. I quickly disciver that I will be blessed by the need to pedal whilst Steve sleeps. I had been warned by his partner, Michelle, but snore doesn't even touch it. At 03:00 I decamp from the dry warmth of the car to my bivvi-bag and the grass outside and spend the remainder of the night smelling the grass in silence. Haaaa Zzzzzz
