 Clive and I met whilst on a round the world trip on our motorbikes in 2002. On that trip we travelled 32,000 miles in 95 days, averaging more than 400 miles a day.Since then we have made several shorter trips and have set up this site so that we can record our memories in an accessible manner to those not with us, and as a reminder when we return.
The next trip will be to South America in the autumn. To that end I have a new bike that is smaller than the last one and Clive has a new version of his old Adventure. We have made a trial run with a new communication system and a new tent (!) down to the south of France. All seemed to work well |
