Day 975                                          22nd March 2019<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

26 miles (Phuket old town to airport. ) Average speed 11.1 mph Top speed 32 mph<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nWhat an incredible day.
\nI got up at 9 and had brekkie of coffee and toast with banana.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I went to collect the hammock and then went in search of jeweller to fix my necklace, but all the goldsmiths wanted to change the clasp.Eventually I found a small place that repaired my clasp with a new spring for 200 baht. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then I left and took the main road, which was busy, but I went past most of the traffic at roadworks and stopped after an hour at a good bike shop where I pumped up my tyres and cooled down. I had a sprite and took ice from a shop. The woman wanted to charge me 3 baht for four pieces of ice and I just laughed. Then I turned left and followed the short cut to the airport signs which was a great road going through countryside, farms and small villages.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I just had a very emotional reunion with the PCC guys.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

Channel Five production team. I did an interview with them about my cycling trip- who knows if it will air?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The PCC have arrived!<\/p><\/div>\n

There was a channel five production team with a camera on each side of arrivals to document it too. Phuket airport documentary will air in August and I think my interview may well feature as they seemed impressed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Hostel airport 330 baht. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then I had following conversation with Vernon on Facebook<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Vernon<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Here\u2019s hoping some editor doesn\u2019t cut you out!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Brian<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I hope not. The production team are out here for ten weeks with what must be a good budget. Two crews with cameras and sound plus a producer and a fixer. It\u2019s good to see a decent crew these days<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Vernon<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Indeed it is. But never believe a producer who tells you that \u201cyou were great, just what we needed.\u201d You can\u2019t trust those buggers! \u00b7 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Brian<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I know but it was the camera woman who felt my passion but they count for nothing after the shoot!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Producers are ten a penny unless you find a good one!! Yourself would be in that category!!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
