The Monkey of Hope World Tour 2008

If I'd known, he could have come with me to Greece and had a trip around the Taygetos mountains.
Not enough time now though as I leave on Tuesday , and anyway, he'd have to stay for six weeks (or be posted back of course).

Someone could always post him out for a short holiday and I could send him back afterwards. He might not be too happy to leave some decent weather though.........

You're forgetting he's a special Hope Monkey, all they are used to is two types of weather:

warm rain in the summer and cold rain in the winter

For those of you yet to catch up on this monster-in-the-making tale, go here:

1. Heathy charms chimp to go along for the ride...
2. Leaves Hope under the guardianship of Mr K and rides around the South Pennines before travelling to...
3. Pickle in Lincoln...

Mr K

I dont have a clue what you're talkin about...

I dont have a clue what you're talkin about...

At the Peaks Meet we were all in the pub after the ride and behind Heathy was an organ grinder and monkey statue thing.....somehow the monkey got 'detached' from the organ grinder and 'somehow' the monkey left the pub with the RetroBike gang......fast forward to Mr K trying to sell it, then some bright spark suggested sending it round the world.

Us being sensible and normal people immediately set about creating a 'pass the parcel' (or Hope Monkey in this case) itinery to get said Monkey all around the world being photographed in daft and amusing locations with proof of its current location in each picture (landmark, signpost blah blah blah)

So are you taking it to Wales?

ah ok..

Responsibilities

Remember in all this excitement, he's got to be brought back to Hope in September 2009, to be discretely reunited with the grinder - he's only got a year pass... ;-)

what would be nice , would be to do the same thing with a retrobike T shirt , signed by members , lets see how many signatures we can get ny MM 2009 .

It would be cool to leave the monkey with an envelope of pictures, taken on his travels.
