\nNow the business<\/a> & office is sold. The big house move is behind me
\nand my other house is renovated and let out it’s time to start
\ntravelling!<\/p>\n

Next week, after our weekend in The Cotswolds,  I’m rambling all 184 miles of The Thames Path<\/a> from its source near Kemble to the Thames barrier, Sally<\/a> will join me when she can. <\/p>\n

In July I hope to cycle my bike back from Les Gets via the source of the Rhine in Reichenau, Switzerland<\/a> to where it meets the North sea about 800miles!. <\/p>\n

Then in October and November I hope to visit the source of The Yangtze <\/a> where it originates in a glacier lying on the west of Geladandong<\/a> Mountain in the Dangla Mountain Range<\/a> on the eastern part of the Tibetan plateau<\/a>  although I don’t think I can cycle or walk its entire 3,915 miles! <\/p>\n

Afterwards  after travelling by train overland to India. I intend to do the holy trail upto where The Ganges<\/a> rises at the foot of Gangotri Glacier<\/a>, at Gaumukh<\/a>, at an elevation of 3,892 m<\/a> (12,769 ft<\/a>) Cathy thinks I should don all the traditional gear of the  Sannyasisi<\/a>, since I’m over 50 vegetarian and bald \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Should all be very interesting to see the major rivers of their respective countries, lets hope my stomach can take the strain.<\/p>\n
