Back from hospital....


Just to let you know I am now back from the hospital and recovering at our friends John & Sandy's house at  Lion's Bay. I was diagnosed with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, a potentially nasty disease, normally spread by ticks.


The doctors have put me on a course of antibiotics for the next week, so hopefully I should make a full recovery. Already feeling much better after starting the treatment.

  1. Glad to hear you're on the mend. That wikipedia article makes for 'interesting' reading!

    What you need is some proper Cumbrian beer, that'll sort it out...

  3. Hi Neil, just let mutha know about you and told her about some of your photos, the one on the river crossing! She said she used to call you bum shuffler when you were a baby. She's very pleased you are o.k and was cheered up immensely. regards Denny

  4. Hello Neil and Tanya, I've enjoyed reading your posts. Glad you're feeling better Neil. My husband and I live in Spokane, Washington state. I have a penpal who lives in Barrow in Furness, so I feel a slight connection to you 2. I have a book on C2C hike and Herriots way. We hope to manage those in our retirement days. We'll be looking towards the PCT in 2014, after youngest finishes high school. Bless your future journeys.
