I‘m well into this, I’d love to live in a house made out of beer bottles! Apparently back in the 60’s Mr. Heineken came up with the idea while concerned about the about of litter/wastage beer bottles were causing. Sadly they never saw the light of day… shame.

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.

Find some photos of Rhyolite, Nevada, an old American ghosttown. Due to the high pub-to-resident ratio, some of the houses were built completely of cemented (round) beer bottles. They have been kept restore, in part by Paramount Studios which films in the “town” occasionally.
