h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Oh. Lord.... NO!!

Don't blame me. I showed VC, and asked if it was too cruel to put it online.

Her reply - "Nah, purridon! It's me mum!"

At least you're all giving Bea something to laugh about should she manage to log in again.

Aww, you turn up just as I'm leaving!

Or was that deliberate?

Glad you're home safe and sound, Bel!

This is the link....

I was actually telling a story about my sister

Not deliberate, Hoggy. I only just woke from a much needed nap. Bye.

Stop it! I'm in the quiet coach and it's very hard to suppress my laughter. Have just passed Preston. I may go and explore the goodies in the buffet car shortly.

Let the others read and have a laugh themselves.

Wow, can you get me their autographs!

Train the second- Carlisle to Kilmarnock. Everyone who gets on is asking "is this the train to Kilmarnock?" in a norn irn accent. I suspectost of them are making the same journey as me. Other train was too fill, couldn't squeeze past to inspect any available goodies, so no autographs, sorry!

Still quite a few hours to go for you.

Time wise I'm nearly halfway!

3rd train not including the ones I used to get to eurton. Kilmarnock to Stranraer. Not many on board facilities I suspect, but there will be food on the boat. There WILL!

We are trying to follow this on the map over here. Elektra cannot believe this detour...

I hope you find food.

I can see ailsa craig! And I'm now singing that to the tune of the ace of spades. It always let's me know that I'm almost home as on a clear day it's visible from NI.

What an adventure. We're following this on google map.

We want to know: why do you go home through Scotland, rather than by way of Dublin?

Good for you, Bea. Hope there will be indeed food on the ferry.

Don't ask, dmitri.

This is fun. We are getting more and more able to keep people up to date on where we are. (I'm in Stansted at the mo, and it looks like no flights are cancelled because of the volcano now - except Belfast, Knock, Midlands and, apparently, the Orkneys.

I wonder who'll read this in 20 years' time and wonder why we are doing it?

The sun is shining in Essex here. A pattern seems to be emerging - when the volcano ash covers the stratosphere or whatever it is, the skies clear.

This means people in NI and the Orkneys are getting in touch with their roots and rediscovering seasickness.

I'm only glad the ash doesn't have the same lethal effects the volcano had Webbie gave us the link to.

Does it mean you'll get home OK, TC?
