\nMy (Tim) last day today, the department made a cake (of me outside a tent), maybe a photo later. One thing I did this morning was to formally measure my height 177cm (I seem to have lost 1cm somewhere, probably my lumbar discs) and weight 80.3kg BMI 25.6 (Oh Dear! that makes me just overweight). But I was also connected to a bio impedance machine that claims to measure my fat proportion my lean body mass and my body water. I post these results with the intention of repeating them when I return. Alright so the physiology is not up to Mike Stroud and Ranulf Fiennes, but then neither is the physical challenge. Still I hope that the constant exercise and use of more calories than usual for me may result in a better shaped Digger. Fat 14.6kg Lean65.5kg Water49.4 litres Extracellular water20.7 litres Intracellular water27.7 litres Basal Metabolic Rate 1903kcals. I really don't know what assumptions this machine makes in calculating these numbers but any changes when I return may be interesting.\n<\/p>\n
\nWe shall see, I start on the long road tomorrow and we must cross the channel with the help of friends on the weekend of the 17-18th May, I hope the River Severn is better behaved than last year as I plan on travelling down its banks to the Wild Fowl Trust at Slimbridge.\n<\/p>\n
\nFurther updates will probably (by me wait until 10th May)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
