Adventure is turning fears and dreams into memories...

Dear Shane,

 

I write this from the comfort of your old home only a few months before your "little" trip. If your reading this it means your having a bad week/month and are about to give up/ throw your smelly little towel in the ring/ go running home with your tail between your legs, etc etc

 

Here's a few things to think about before your do:

 

1. Never give up unless you've had a good nights sleep, a full English breakfast and a pot of good tea.

 

2. Nostalgia makes a good companion but poor counsel.

 

3. Be happy you dont have to go to work every day, think about that sickly feeling you get when the alarm clock goes off at 5.30am or the feeling of being really tired and just waiting until 10pm so you can go to work a nightshift.

 

4. Think about the bridges you've burned and sacrifices you've made past, present and future to be able to do this trip.

 

5. If all else fails, stop being a little bitch and man the fuck up!

 

Take care, be wise and live life now!

 

Shane

    Thanks guys,

    I hope never to be in Pete's situation, but if something so bad happens to me I hope I can have his courage to continue (and maybe this letter will help).

    Heh, nice website. Good luck on your journey from another Shane who loves tea and especially breakfast, but drives a BMW instead of a bicycle.

    There aren't many Shanes around, we need to keep each other's spirits up!
