Hello there from Brewood - a town just north of Birmingham!

Lots has happened since we last updated, including a wonderful break at Alton Towers!  Unfortunately the Fridges wern't allowed in, but we were, and let me tell you, we had difficulty leaving!  Fortunately for us we managed to get an entire cottage to ourselves right next to the park, so we had to do minimal walking. Thanks to Farley Cottage for being so wonderfully welcoming!

Since the last update we've also managed to completely destroy James' trolley, and just after the last update we decided it might finally be beyond repair - the entire handle had snapped clean off!  James is now the proud owner of a brand new trolley, which should hopefully last the distance  On the topic of trolley woes, we'd like to plead with farmers to STOP CUTTING THEIR THORN HEDGES, and spraying thorns all over the road.  Yesterday we had no less than 4 punctures in the space of 3 hours.  Bear in mind we had absolutely none in Scotland at all.

Lastly we'd like to thank Lindz at FYEP for donatng some very warm hoodies, which should hopefully get us through the very cold nights ahead.  Camping is no fun at all when it's freezing cold!  FYEP specialise in eye-catching clothing, and one of theior laest designs we quite like is "monster fridge raid".  Have a look!

Wish us luck on the rest of the journey, and we'll try and update with some more photos as soon as we can!

Marcus and James.
