About this blog

This is to be the longest and hardest adventure ever in my life. We fly out to Ushuaia on 20th March to start our 20 000mile journey of the Americas. My motorcycle, a Honda Transalp 700 has already been shipped on 15th Jan together with 17 other bikes. We are giving ourselves 9 weeks to complete the long journey from Ushuaia at the tip right up to Alaska at the top of the Americas. Its going to be one hell of an adventure and hard work at that. I am also collecting funds for the David Shephard Wildlife foundation. They generally work with animals such as Tigers and Elephants but at the end of the day any animal is worth saving. If you want to make a donation in aid of the animals then please go to my JustGiving site on the link below. http://www.justgiving.com/TransAmericaTour Thanks for your donations
