JUST A SMALL CORRECTION. I AM NOT DOING ANY ‘ ROUGHING IT, SLEEPING UNDER BRIDGES ETC HERE IN SOUTH AMERICA AND MUCH OF CENTRAL AMERICA AS HOTELS ARE MORE AFFORDABLE THAN IN THE USA OR CANADA. I ALSO NEED TO HAVE A BASE TO STORE MY STUFF SAFELY WHEN RUNNING AND COMMUTING AND ALSO FOR REST/RECOVERY AND SAFETY REASONS. MANY FOLLOWERS HAVE SPONSORED THESE NIGHTS AND IT IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF HOW YOUR HELP HAS PAID OFF, ALSO WITH YOUR MUCH GRATEFUL HELP I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STAY IN SAFER HOTELS WHERE I DONT RISK MY DOOR LOCK BEING SLIPPED!

Hey Tony keep it going . Hopefully the article will provide you with sponsorship. It is amazing you are not sponsored by a runner manufacturer so here’s hoping! Living the dream for all your readers.
Best wishes

Thanks everyone for your comments.
Stewart please pass some of that cold weather over here
To answer you question, No I sent Nirvana from Mexico with the intention of reuniting in Argentina as I will need her for Patagonia, thanks to John Boyle in BA for minding her all this while.
I got an email from Chariot Carriers today to say they were delighted by coverage as too was Sir Richard of Dazer. He happened to be in Clontarf Castle,Dublin for the weekend and had he known he would have picked up a copy.

Good Man Tony,
I’m getting all nostalgic seeing those signs for PIURA and CHICLAYO.
Enjoy the coastal desert : )

Ha Ha Sure am enjoying the hot humid desert! 2 easy days Thurs and Fri 18 and 16km today, my birthday.I didnt want to spend my birthday stranded and sleeping in the sand dunes! Long distances between places where drivers stop for my commute back to Chimbote, so I got to take what I can get and keep chipping away at it. Tough without a support vehicle but I am having a ball! Great to hear from you Fearghal!
