The Flat Footed Adventurer

I started a new blog today.  Not to replace this one, but instead to combine all my travel writing &adventure writing in one place.  At the moment, it only has the Inca Trail in it, because that's the only non-tourist adventure I've had -- but over time, it will be fleshed out with more adventures.  I want it to not only document my journeys themselves, but also my journey from London based, working in office in marketing, to becoming a professional adventurer and writer.  I can dream, right?

Shamefully, I found on importing my Inca Trail blog that the posts were never completed.  There's three whole days missing -- including Machu Picchu.  What a lousy writer I am.  Confusingly, there's extracts from a paper journal I kept at the time -- but I don't know what paper journal I used, or where that is now, so I don't know if all the paper entries have been transcribed.  I'm going to have to work from memory, with factual prompts to remind me of what was when and photographs to finish the story of that adventure -- almost two years after it took place.

It's proving very difficult to find the money to even pay for the deposit for the next trip, and while I have some ideas, that's another story for another day.
