Going the distance with England on tour
As a dream and experiment Owen Robertson, a self-employed electrician, saved up to follow the full tour of the Caribbean
"I have been watching England for 20 years since I was a kid and have always said that I wanted to go on a tour," said Robertson. "Two years ago I started saving and I can safely say I have no regrets. On Boxing Day last year I was on a laptop at a friend's house and decided that the West Indies tour would be a good one to start with, so I booked my flights, bought my tickets off the Barmy Army website and took it from there."
