Hi there! The idea of riding calmly down to the Balkans, and back and taking 3 months has been thrown by the wayside for the newer, brighter idea of AFRICA (riding for approximately 6 months down to Cape Town). Ed and I have been frantically covering all our bases with so many details, visas, routes, equipment, [...]
It’s been a little while since I last wrote on here anything. I have since been busy busy busy working, planning and ordering new toys. So it is now less than 6 months to go until Ed and I set off on our intrepid adventure through Africa, and frankly, we haven’t got our heads round the route [...]
Hey guys, it’s been a while and I’ve been mostly toying around with things I’ve got, my cameras are great but the weather hasn’t been much cop for doing any decent filming. A couple of weekends ago I went to the Kent County & Game Fair to meet a man named Chris Matthews who makes [...]
This time next week I’ll be out in Wales testing out my gear for Africa (simply because the climates are so similar). The plan is for Ed Noel, (you remember Noel from last year, yes, the guy who took really cool photos). We’ll be riding round the coast line of Wales in some fashion. Good opportunity for [...]
Hi hi! I’ve been back almost a week and had lots of things to do before I could settle down again. Currently, I’m off work with a stomach bug, which has given me time to do some trip house-keeping. My photos are uploaded and I have edited the footage into a video, currently on YouTube. I [...]
Alrighty, so err… been a while, I keep meaning to write more and keep you more in the loop but between one thing and another I have been too lazy to do so. So a couple of days ago (Monday 24th May) I sent off my application for my Carnet de Passage; I guess that [...]
Right, I guess I should mention a few things. We’re leaving for Africa. We will be leaving soon. Scary scary scary. Oh, and so my carnet application went bad. My bank Lloyds TSB rejected my guarantee, which is ironic since their slogan “for the journey” doesn’t stand up to much since they wont have my [...]
Hey hey!! God, this trip is almost imminent. I am just writing a line or 2 to tell you that last night we booked the ferry (in unison) to cross to Alexandria from Venice on the 23rd … it’s a 4 day cruise and cost us €412.05… woot woot! (i’m sure that we will starve on [...]
Well, I’m now passed that line of 30, scary. In other news, I’m in the process of buying a new home (as you do), packing up to move and packing to go to Africa at the same time is pure lunacy. I have consistently been spending waaaayy too much lately.
Hey hey there! Well, Ed left yesterday after spending the past 4 days down here tinkering with the DRZ. So far the bike is in great shape (for a unicycle). The forks are off and up in the Wirral at the moment. I have just collected my viles of rabipur which in any other place [...]
