Tomorrow we start to plan the expedition to the land that time forgot. We have a basic outline - a 2 vehicle party tied together for safety sake by a mobile phone link.

We hear of stories of a great migration that occurs each July that will slow down our journey along the mighty track known for many 100's of years as the Fosse Way, in the great era of the Morris Minor as the A38 and in relative modern times as the M5.

As a family we have trying acclimatise to local conditions. On Monday I re-aquainted myself with a local delicacy. To do so I had to travel to the end of a great trading route and visit an outpost called 'Paddington' to sample the dish known as a 'pasty'. Tom has been sampling a well known fertility drink called 'cider' - it would appear any man that drinks it feels larger and braver and any women folk who quench their thirst with this drink are more likely to partake in the ancient ritual of 'dropping knickers' which as we know is the start of a mating ritual.

Come back to hear of stories of pirates, dancers on the water in a place called 'Finstral Beach' and other tales of the ancient land of 'Cornwall'
