September Herald photo by Lisa Boonstoppel Pot British visitor a travelling man By BEN The Herald Most would agree Sergeant Ma Hugh Colndge has chosen a rather unique way to spend his retirement The 65yearold retired British army parachute instructor pass ed through Georgetown Tuesday on a journey that has so far taken him through Australia New Zealand the Far East the Mid die East the United States and Western Canada A native of Cambridge England a place he describes as a little village of academic pretension Sgt Colrldge has been on the road for more than two years When I retired three years ago I decided rather than tend to the rose garden walk the dog and sit in the pub I put a pack on my back and wander the planet While in Georgetown the Sergeant Major spent a lot of time sitting under a big old Maple tree on Guelph Street enjoying a can of tuna fish his breakfast and just watching the people pass by As he does in every communi Sgt Maj Colrldge spent some time at the local Legion branches in both Georgetown and Acton swapping stones with Legion members He started the Canadian leg of his journey in the west and Iravclled eastward He recounts how travelling through the prairies was similar to driving through a loaf of bread the wheat fields were endless he said Vancouver is the Canadian city the Sgt Maj has enjoyed most It s a cosmopolitan sophisticated 20th Century city with snowcapped mountains The Sergeant Major relies on the train plane his feet but most of all his thumb to travel the world Hitch hiking is the best way to meet people he said For travelling companions he has a sleeping bag a tent a bottle of brandy and a sense of humor After zigzagging across the United States Sgt was glad to enter Canada I felt safer more comfortable he said He does have one complaint about Canada There is an absence of public washroom facilities In almost every part of the world there are public washrooms but in Canada you must enter a establish and buy something first From Georgetown the tramp as he calls himself is off to Quebec to check out what all the controversy is about To en sure he s not disappointed the Sergeant Major has a large Union Jack sewn to the front of his backpack That should stir things up Asked when he plans to return home the Sergeant Major couldn t say have no one in England to go home to Besides England is crowded there Is no space The empty tuna can marks the end of breakfast for Cambridge England native Sergeant Hugh Colrldge who passed through Georgetown Tuesday during his Journey around the planet Herald photo
