Thanks, to Nokia for our N82 phone!
Tracking our progress right across America is no mean feet. Luckily we've had a good deal of help from the kind folks at Nokia, who supplied us with their latest N82 phone with Sports Tracker. It's what we're using to track our route with GPS, take our pictures and write our posts. Finally it's the tool we use to update the blog, whenever we get reception or a wifi area.
Who, What, Where, When?
Made in England by Gentlemen is a blog written by Cookie, who generally designs websites, draws cartoons, drinks too much, grows a moustache and browses the web for interesting & amusing stuff. But currently the only thing he's doing is walking northwards towards Canada with his mate Paul, if you're not interested in my holiday pics ;) and were hoping for some visual eye candy, may I suggest you check out my girlfriend's blog: Monster-Munch.

Your Nokia device isn’t showing us where you are! Unless, you’re just standing in one spot in “El Rio, United States” for the past week or so.
I know there’s not much you can do about it out there but I wanna follow your travels!
Also I’m sure you’ve seen this, but this guy did the CDT and then walked all the way *BACK*

Pretty crazy.

Hey Matt :)
This is Mrs.Cookie! I think he’s having a little solar panel trouble that’s stopping him from uploading the data ( but should be able to fix it now they’re in town ). In the meantime, check out the Google maps version! Here http://www.made-in-england.org/cdt/progress I’m sticking the pins in by hand by following their topological maps and descriptions from Cookie. I think right now, they’re recovering from a hangover in Lordsburg ;) A long way to go yet!
Said, on May 6th, 2008 at 7:17 pm :
No doubt! I’m actively following the search and might be interested in covering their trip on ESPNOutdoors.com if they’re interested in us following their trek.
Said, on May 6th, 2008 at 10:44 pm :
We’d love you to follow our trek Matt :) Unfortunetly our sonar panel is on the blink at the moment… Tried to get the connections soldered back together this afternoon, but still not working properly. We’ll have to buy another one and get it posted out to ourselves enroute, so blog updates might be thin on the ground in the mean time.
Said, on May 7th, 2008 at 8:46 pm :
Cookie, let me know if you want me to order it and put it in your first supply box…….
Said, on May 8th, 2008 at 2:57 am :
So you guys don’t care if we post pieces and parts of your journey on our website? We’d provide a link back to made-in-england.org and it give you guys some exposure, too. Shoot me an e-mail if you want to pursue this and we can get it going quickly while you guys are still in the first stages of the trip!
Said, on May 10th, 2008 at 12:43 am :
yeah sorry about the size of that first box John… God knows how we’re going to fit it all into our 2 packs!
