Here's Richard Monson's last post from his and Chapp's Cambodian adventure.
Those expecting a Conradesque 'Heart of Darkness' type account should be content with... a photo and a video. Amazing that amidst all of the hairy arsed mud and sweat, Mike managed to keep his teeth so dazzlingly white. Maybe it's just a reflection from all of the chrome domes around him...
Many apologies for the delay in sending these on.
Here is the final photo which shows us after our relieved arrival in Sion Reap.
It was an amazing trip and indeed a very humbling experience
spending time with people that quite simply have absolutely nothing but
are so happy.
Given the lot they have had thrown at them over the last
40 years it's truly incredible.
The movie is clip from the paddy fields:
Welcome. This is an unofficial blog for Beaconsfield squash club.
and get updates on squash and racketball events and any forthcoming social activity.
It could also be the place to start (and end) rumours, and indulge in healthy banter.
There's bound to be the odd thing that offends; but that's alright isn't it, us being adults?
If you're truly miffed just email me and I'll remove the offending article.

Cambo Enduro: Two for the Road: Chaps and Monson don the leathers
Our own Mike Chapples and Richard Monson are about to embark on the journey of a lifetime.Cambo Enduro is the latest world-class motorcycle adventure from Global Enduro taking place in one of the least developed countries on Earth – Cambodia.
Imagine yourself tackling a true jungle adventure - floating the bikes across rivers on tired wooden boats, riding past hidden temples taken back by the forest long ago, your voices drowned out by massive hidden waterfalls that feed the awe-inspiring Mekong river system.
If you can’t imagine yourself as part of this life-enriching expedition then click on the movie here, turn up the volume, sit back and enjoy the ride!
Richard describes the forthcoming adventure with a little trepidation:
"Cambo here we come – 2000ks of off road endure riding on a Honda 250cc, one must be fxxking mad!"
Mad indeed to be sharing a sleeping bag with Chaps for a fortnight; after a couple of days of spooning they're sure to be on the lookout for a ladyman or two.
Good luck to the boys on their brave adventure; they've promised to send the odd missive in diary form back to me so that I can keep you up to speed with their exploits.
I'm taking bets on:
- which one comes back with a tattoo (or two)
- which one comes back with only one kidney
- which one comes back with a "strange unsightly little rash"
I'm sure they'll both come back with a tall tale or two...
