Due to popular demand (well, Nige) and having a few days of driving for 10 ½ hours a day I’ve updated the stats. Aren’t you all lucky?! (Correct as of 16 September)
1. Miles travelled: 11,144
2. Average per day: 179
3. Most in one day: 646
4. Mp(American)g: 19, not bad for a fully loaded Camel!
5. Average price per gallon: $3.10
6. Total spent on fuel: $2260 (£1130)
7. Breakages:
* drivers seatbelt, due to mud ingress!
* 2 flat tyres, not bad for over 1,000 miles on gravel tracks though.
* 12” crack in the windscreen
* very leaky gearbox
* 2 front roof tent clamps which hold it to the roof rack departing, must remember to check them whilst travelling on corrugated roads.
8. Number of states & Canadian Provinces travelled through: 26
9. Number of ‘Cheesecake Factories’ visited: 1 (must try harder)
10. Number of ‘Ben and Jerry’s’ pints consumed: 3 (must try harder)
11. Number of times I’ve done the workout I promised I’d do at least 3 times a week: …er.. four it’ll get better when it’s a bit warmer and we have showers though! Honest.
12. Number of miles on bikes: no idea, Dan accidentally reset his computer! Lots though.
13. Number of times we’ve fallen off bikes: Dan: 3 Jen: 5
14. Number of photographs taken: 2,727
15. Most number of wheels spotted on a truck: 50
16. Latest Realisation: Flush toilets are a fabulous invention! Its hard to describe the sensation of a cold draft coming up from the cesspit over which one is squatting, but some are a lot worse than others.

Hi Jen and Dan
Looks like your having a fantastic time, I love reading your blogs and seeing the pics! Eastleigh is still the same, not sure if you heard but there was a armed robbery at the HSBC in chandlers Ford and two of the robbers were shot dead! Drama at work that day!
Right - xmas party at the concorde - at present I've ordered one smoked salmon & crayfish terrine and one pate for starters. Two turkey for main (you can have rump of lamb though if you want), one xmas pud and one cheese plate. Let me know if your happy with this or want to change something by the 12th Oct.
Take care. Sarah xx
