Looking Back

Almost six months after our arrival in Halifax we look back with many, many fond memories. As often is the case, time is kind: the high points seem just as vivid while the low points not nearly as low and a necessary and integral part of the adventure. When we tell people about the trip they're often impressed and amazed that we did it: what's odd is that as time passes we're increasingly amazed too. It was a truly epic adventure.

As for what comes next, who knows. One of the blessings and burdens of having big adventures like this is that expectations (both your own and those of others) are elevated. Since returning from Canada the tandem has made numerous trips around New England, but there are certain to be bigger adventures in the future. Watch this space ...


Latest update ...

Bitten by the bug, it wasn't long until there was talk of the next 'by tandem' adventure. It seemed only fair that the UK be our next destination, and we set our sights on the famous 'End to End' route from Lands End, England to John O'Groats, Scotland. This we did in the summer of 2007: you can read our account of that adventure at www.adventuresbytandem.com/britain.

And you can certainly expect more to come in the "bytandem" series of adventures ...
