It’s not long now (less than 3 weeks) that me & my mate Paul start our 3000+ mile walk along the Continental Divide Trail! Before we go both of us are selling off various things that we don’t really need to raise a bit of cash for a lager or two en route. Paul’s got his pride of joy motorbike on ebay at the moment. I don’t know much about motorbikes, but this one looks bloody fast! Currently bid is £1200, Paul was hoping for a bit more, so get on there and grab yourself a bargain!
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.

Good luck with the walk man, it looks like it you should have an amazing time one way or the other on it!

Walking… 3000 miles?? I’ve done a lot hiking trips here in my home state of Colorado, but I’ve never even entertained the idea of traversing the whole state, let alone the entire continental divide. (!!) Nor have I heard of anyone doing this before. Hiking for 6 months is less a vacation, more of a spiritual quest. In fact I’m not sure Bilbo Baggins traveled that far to deposit the ring. I would recommend taking your motorcycle! Feel free to holler if you would like any Colorado info.
