After two and a half months of very little to report, I have great news. Trinity is on her way back from LA and is estimated to reach UK shores on the 22nd December 2015. I’m so glad she’ll be home for Christmas (fingers crossed)!
Before I change my website to make place for my 2016 tours, I would like to share a video with you that I created as part of a presentation I gave at work recently about my trip. I had never intended to make the video public but the result exceeded my expectation, very much in keeping with the journey itself, so it seemed like a waste not to. I hope you enjoy it!
I would like to say thank you to my friend Nicola for the use of her interview in my video. Nicola interviewed me throughout the planning and execution of my trip, as part of her film studies, so hopefully she’ll have something exciting to share with us in the future.
On a final note, I wish you all a very happy Christmas and wonderful 2016!
Mel & Trinity 
Wonderfully done Mel! I love the shots of Yellowstone and S.F….two of my favorite places on the planet. Sounds like you had a wonderful internal journey as well:) So glad you took the time to create this video. – stephen

Thanks Stephen! Making that journey was the best decision I’ve ever made. It’s also lovely knowing that you were part of it (even if it was only to keep the ‘toilet monitor’ company). 🙂

Alone on a motorcycle, you’re a braver man than I am Gunga Din! Watching this reminded me of my last road trip three years ago and has given me itchy feet for another big one.
