Distance remaining: 288 miles. Travel time: 5 hours 6 minutes. Warning, traffic congestion en route - do you want to recalculate your route?
This was the welcome I got from my Sat Nav when I started the engine for the journey to Cornwall at 4.26am on Saturday. It was an unearthly hour, but the only way of being sure to beat the holiday traffic, so I hoped.
I used to enjoy reading back over my Chesham United Travels in the early 1990's and I hoped others did too. The discovery of the blog means I have no excuses for not doing it again...The only difference is, as time has evolved, my weekend sport watching and passion is being shared with rugby, and in particular Saracens.

A Dorset Retreat
I remember once last season watching a Chelsea game on television with my 6-year old son Ben, and David Moyes, the Everton manager, was in the crowd.
"Why is he there?" asked Ben "Everton are not playing". Impressed by his knowledge (though not surprised considering the amount of cash spent on Match Attax football cards) I went on to explain how clubs watch their opponents ahead of games so they can work out their tactics, look at set pieces and identify strengths and weaknesses.
