Today we met Gottago aka Linda Jeffers, her hiking companion was having trouble with her feet and dropped out at Lordsburg. So Linda’s taking advantage of mine and Paul’s excellent navigation skills and tagging along with us for the time being.
We’ve only been walking together one morning so far and we’ve already got her lost twice! She’s already hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, so is full of loads of top tips and advice for me and Paul.
Cookie & Paul are currently walking the 3000 mile long Continental Divide Trail from Mexico to Canada.
Everything about the walk is on the following pages:
1. You can check on our progress here (or below)
2. You can find out more info about the trip here
3. You can sponsor us here
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.
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.

So have you guys got trail names yet? What about ‘The Lost Boys’ :)

Good point - you’re going to earn proper trail names this time! Hope your feet are holding up; I’ve still got a the remains of a blister from the JMT.
