Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Mr_Quincy]

in my real life i am planning to cycle around the world sometime in 2006 probably leaving my house in april. i will be in europe for about 4-5 months, going to watch the world cup in germany, then most countries in europe, a lot are easy but a few im a bit worried about like iran and then the middle east through to india. india will be ok, then i think i will have to get a boat to thailand and then malaysia japan hong kong etc should be ok. then boat to australia and then newzealand. then across somehow boat preferably to hawaii to do some surfing. then from there to alaska then south through canada, usa, mexico, bloivia, peru, brazil, chile, el salvador and then argentina. boat to the falklands then across to south africa then up to europe again through zimbabwe (very dodgy) namibia, kenya, sahara desert, then egypt, morrocco and back up through spain and france then the ferry to portsmouth. this will probably take me about 3 years and ive got £5k saved, so im hoping to save like a maniac up until april and get about £11k to take. im planning on camping most places and obviously i wont have to pay any air fares. basically i want a website for me so i can keep an online diary and put pictures on so that my pals and family can see my wacky adventures when i am awol. anyone know where i can make a website (its gotta be easy cos im shat at computers) or wanna make one on my behalf??

if you wanted do one yourself, try freewebs, it's all easy for people who know minimal about computers, like myself.

Wow, thats some serious stuff Quincy! Do beasts have to have vacinations? Becuase you will need a lot of them! To be honest you will have to have a reliable website, i would reccomend atgig.com but they are up and down all of the time... So i would reccomend a free site with a photobucket account...

[Ema]

dont use piczo cos its pop up galore and most of the adverts are crazy frog ringtones

Yea, just upload them to photobucket and hyperlink them to your free site e.g. at geocities or somthin. Saves space you see, becuase those photos do mount up...

yep, piczo, i've got an account, but i never use it for that reason.

[John]

And good luck to you! We should start fundraising for it, should pay for your accomidations and equipment

[Mr_Quincy]

no need. i will be camping most nights, its like a few dollars to stay in a campsite each night. in places like india and iran i will find hotel rooms for peanuts. the expensive places will be canada and alaska, im not to sure about camping outdoors there because of the cold and because of bears.

You're a best. You should be able to tackle bears. Shame you cant take some type of rifle with you...

[Mr_Quincy]

well i could buy one in canada or america.

im looking for a bike, the one i want is a combination of a mountain bike and a road bike, i might have to get one custom made and it will cost about £1000, then i will need all luggage holders on it and it will add about 3 stone of weight if you include 8 litre water tanks. then i will need to buy a decent waterproof tent and sleepingbag and a stove. argh

[Jono]

You wouldn't have that problem if you'd have stayed in Norfolk

Quncy look for a bike called a "Marin". I have one, they are one of the best. I biked from Llangollen in Wales last year back into Wolverhampoton and it didn't fail me once. I rid it part canal and part road and it was great, solid and robust. They make different types of bikes for different things, have a look on the website:-

I had an accident on my bike about 8years ago and i've been scared of getting back on since
