Why are you coming on Induni? Same reason I give for every tour. Because I'm organising it!

What are you looking forward to most (on Induni)? Riding with many familiar faces, and a few new ones. Exploring another country on a unique form of transport.

What is your favourite curry? My mums Devil curry

Favourite quote: "Flying is learning to throw yourself at the ground and miss."
The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy

If I weren't riding a unicycle, I would be riding a..... Camel. It's just like a horse with batteries. You ride it until the hump needs recharging.

My most overused saying/phrase: "it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye"

Would you take candy from a stranger? only if they hadn't licked it first

When I was little, the best piece of advice my mother/father gave me was: Stay cool till after school
