Bon voyage - leaving London

Hopped on to London Underground's Northern Line tube (1st mode of transport) to Stockwell then the Victoria Line to London St Pancras International Station for Eurostar (2nd mode) to Paris Gare du Nord Station and a short jaunt by Paris Metro (3rd mode) orange line 5 to Republique for the Joules Ferry Hostel nearby in central Paris. To view a slide show of farewells to family, friends and London sights I will miss click here.

  2. Thanks Nigel,

    There's Nigel. There are a whole host of Dip Geogs looking at this but you are the first one not scared to post a comment.

  4. Hi Eee,

    Another Dip Geog! David Cooper e-mailed me before I left to say both he and Ron will be following my progress and passed on some Dip Geog contacts in Oz.

    Nigel,

    Map publishing is also going through a hard time at Harper Collins who have closed their Cheltenham office with staff either opting for redundancy or working from home although they have moved all the servers to Glasgow and are getting little IT support. Good news for AA Publishing I suppose, but bad news for the industry as a whole. You could pass this on to Keith with my thanks for taking over my job - still waiting for the pint he promised me!
