This was my first two wheeled trip from
Holland to Greece. I was younger then.
I am stuck again.
I would like to get back on the road, BUT my doc tells me I must go
for a scan as it is now very hard for me to walk more than 200m,
so it looks like I will be here for two weeks more.
The trailer is almost finished (photo to follow)
I am still trying to get Scanzy back to his formal self but money is
short, but he is running very well (much healthier than me)

If you want to go to Belgium on a scooter you should first go to see the doctor for your head!!!!!!!
My trip up was half a day sun and four days wet. Not good but nice to feel alive.
The way back was much better. Three days of sun and we found some good roads on the
way back. The roads in Belgium are so bad I had to check the nuts and screws on Scanzy every other day as bits started to rattle lose.
The first weekend I stayed with friends from Macedonia, when I left he gave me some home made rakky I put it in my backpack and half an hour latter the bottle broke so every thing I had smelt of alcohol. OK I can live with that but try sleeping in a sleeping bag that stinks of rakky and is socking wet.
The next morning when I got up I thought I,d just hang my sleeping bag over a wall by
the canal and lost the last of my money in the canal it had fallen out of my pockets in
the night.
The last weekend I was in Mons I stayed with some other friends I had not seen for some time that was nice and relaxing. Thanks for the very nice tin!!!!!!!!!
As I said the trip back was so nice. The north east of France is mostly flat farm land so
nice roads with the sun, then after a day and a half the land changes to hill and snake
roads up and down in pine forest. It only took three days to get back as the weather was
so good. I would like to have taken longer but money became a problem.
Now I am back at home and trying to make a trailer for Scanzy so we can go all the
sommer on the road (south west I think). I will add photo when we are ready to leave.

Hello
My start was nice, the sun, the road and the freedom.
Day one was good but the night was not, I had to make my shelter three time in the night because of the wind so not a lot
of sleep.
Day 2 It rained and I got so wet, had to do 40k in the rain to find some where to sleep. It was only 7 pm but t wet to do any thing but sit under my plastic and wait for tomorrow hoping
the rain will be gone. And we can find a station for petrol for my
friend.
Day 3 The north-east of France, very flat and mostly farm land
nice road but to much mud so it was a slow day.
I have called my scooter Scanzy he should have a name we have
spent more nights together than I have with any lady, in the last
year.
Found a good place to sleep. Again a bit early but I am wet and cold. It is nice to be on the move but I wish this rain would stop.
Day 4 This was bad, got up about 8 00am but after 20k could not see 150m so had to stop untill midday.
We made Mons by Wensday eve, and it has just been a party since then. I know a lot of people here and it is good to spend some time with them, but after 5 days I want to move so will go to see some of Belgium I have not seen befor and stop of here on my way back to France.
Scanzy is running very good maybe better than me.
