Hi there all, I thought I'd just write a few lines about what i've been up to now that I'm finally about to set off. I arrived in Vancouver on Sunday and went to stay with my cousin Tim, we went for a couple of drinks with some of his mates before going to see Arctic Monkeys in Stanley park which was a little unexpected but pretty cool. The last couple of days I've been in a little place called Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island where I (unsuccessfully) tried to do a little surfing, evidence of my now legendary skill can be seen in the accompanying photo. Today I finished up my preparations to set off cycling the bike is pretty good but not perfect so i'll be tuning him up on the road. I'm due to set off tomorrow about midday and I should be camping in the US tomorrow night. I'll update again in 10 days or so I guess.
