Howdy Howdy Howdy... After a night of frantic worry (Aimee with fears of ravid bears and me with an almost maternal fear for the lovely plump chicken breasts all alone outside) dawn broke and we rose like salmon and following a hearty breakfast of 1 x (cold) pop tart (between us) and 1 x nutrigrain bar each we hit the road in search of the big man.
