Saturday 20th June: Last night in UK

  • An extraordinary wedding: alternative meets moneyed. Earnest and exquisite. Having only communicated with Mike in To Do list points for the previous month, the sunny reality of what we were trying to capture and celebrate with Going The Distance peeped through the thick clouds for an instant.
  • For one moment, I remembered that I really did love Mike. Then he got steaming drunk, and it was harder to see.
  • Sat between Jack Osbourne and his producer at dinner. Lots of tips for trip from their experience of making a (proper) TV show: kidnap insurance, satellite phones, etc. All helpful for pre-trip panic attacks.

    Mike and Alanna,

    It was a great pleasure to meet you in Anchorage as you are preparing your Ural motorcycle and sidecar for the long journey.

    Best of luck to you two both for this upcoming journey and the life-long one…

    Cheers!

    Lester

    Hmmmm. Moving very very slowly at this end. I had no idea the unremitting level of work which this trip would be. Hey ho, we have a day to try and sort it out today.
    Freezing to death in the sidecar! Remember that? x
