New Dog on the Block!

[Steve Sparrow]

Can't find any "Say Hello" boards so I'll post here.
Fat and 46 y.o. in North West England.
Disabled with Traumatic Brain Injuries but still kicking. All my backpacking in recent years has been done cycling but I did backpack in the late 80's and early 90's through Europe, Egypt, Sudan, round to India for a few months and then down through Laos and Thailand. Aiming for a cheap hop to Australia but ran out of money and had a real adventure hitch hiking home to the U.K. (Wild camping in dodgy places, stealing for food etc). Spent about 8 months in the U.S.A. in 91 and criss crossed florida to California to N, orleans and up to D.C. before coming home. With the cycletouring I tend to carry FAR too much junk and weight so I'm hoping I'll get some good tips here.
Enough waffling about me, I'll post when I have anything worth contributing.
See you all soon!

Welcome, Pedaldog! I'm glad the injuries haven't kept you away!
