[Stoots]

Only holiday I've got booked this year is norfolk.

Honestly I prefer holidaying in Britain than going abroad probably because I've got kids and its way too much of an ordeal. Usually go abroad every year but can't say I ever enjoy it as much as a week in a caravan in Wales.

Last time I was in Rhodes I’d got the ferry from Haifa. Slept on the top deck for three nights under the stars. Then on arrival we backpacked up through the old quarter and slept on the open-air roof of a youth hostel for three more nights, before getting another ferry across to Marmaris in Turkey.

The joys of being 24 without a single care in the world….

Sleeping on the roof of a youth hostel was half the fun. Although one night I kipped down on an old mattress on the roof a youth hostel in the Old City of Jerusalem. When I woke up in the morning I moved the pillow there was a used tampon under it.

I got a locals bus from Aswan, which is right down south in Egypt, to Hurghada up on the Red Sea coast when I was backpacking on another occasion. When we got to Hurghada we went to retrieve our rucksacks from the compartment under the bus via the coaches side panels, I slung my rucksack on my back. It was soaking wet and I was getting wet too. I took it off and what had happened was the toilet on the bus had leaked piss and shit all over my bag for the previous 8 hours.

I hitched across Germany once. Took three days. We slept under the stars in fields alongside the autobahn every night. It was fun. Then we’d get up, go in to the motorway service station we were at, get a shower, have a dump then breakfast and off we went to start hitching again.  That night, lie down in the field, in your rucksack, with a beer watching the stars.


The only thing we missed back in the day was a swimming pool and a plate of baked beans…..

Motorbiked from Bristol to Italy via Grenoble, Switzerland through the Alps in 1980 on a Suzuki GT750 triple. All on A roads as we didn't want to pay motorway tolls. Took 4 days with an old army surplus bivouac strapped on the back.

Did the last 300 miles with no clutch as the cable (not hydraulic) had snapped.

A very cool and significantly sounding bike. A smoker 👍

And water cooled - and with a frame that felt like it had a hinge in the middle! I went again the next year but had switched to a Honda CB750F1.
