This is my last blog post for a few days, because I am taking some time out to complete my Christmas shopping, take my nephew to watch our local football team Leeds United Vs Southampton play and weather permitting, I’ll be taking a gentle stroll up Ilkley Moor on Sunday.

Today, I received an email from backpacker, Daniel Coupland, who informs me that he read about the Travel Rants Blog in The Star newspaper in South Africa, who wrote an article about Blogs.

Unfortunately, Daniel couldn’t bring a copy back, so are they any Travel Rants readers from South Africa that would of bought the Star newspaper on the 4th November 2006? I’ve just dropped the newspaper an email, so hopefully I’ll get hold of a copy to add to my press page.

Have a great weekend and I’ll be back blogging about Travel on Monday.
