In June 2011 Rupert and Fanny set off from Cape Town on two KTM 990 Adventure motorcycles to Shanghai, a journey of some 35,000kms. The expedition takes them through the bush, deserts, savanna, and jungles of Africa to Egypt. Making their way through southern Europe, north, through France and across the English Channel to England, Wales and across to Ireland. Their original plan has been changed to take them back through Europe, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and then across the vast country of China arriving in Shanghai some time in late 2012. Find out about their trip and follow their diary where their adventures often take a strange, unexpected or funny turn.
Fang Yi, a former professional volleyball player and recent motorcycle license holder, has a following of about a million followers on her Chinese website. Rupert has three of his Mum's friends following his site.

On 26 February 2010 I will be heading from Australia to South Africa for the beginning of a Trans-Africa motorcycle trip. The plan is to start from South Africa and head up the east coast of Africa eventually ending up in Egypt. I expect that the trip will take about 4 months, span over 16000km’s and will cross through at least ten African countries (South Africa / Mozambique / Zimbabwe / Malawi / Tanzania / Kenya / Uganda / Ethiopia / Sudan / Egypt). The majority of my trip will be solo, but two of my university mates (Andrew "Bonky" King and Richard "Cobbles" Kolbe) will be joining me for the first part of the trip.
Together with AMEC Minproc, I will also be taking this opportunity to raise funds for charity. The charity that I have selected is a charity called "Riders for Health" which is organization that provides health-workers with motorbikes and medicines to ensure that millions of people in the remote areas of Africa receive regular, reliable health care, often for the first time in their lives. The result – 10.8 million people are now accessing vital health care in Africa. AMEC Minproc have very kindly offered to match any donations that I manage to raise. So please dig deep for this great cause!

In 2010, Gareth "Bok" Davey will be attempting a Trans-Africa trip on his trusty motorbike, a KTM990 Adventure. The idea is to head from South Africa through East Africa and on to Egypt. The route will be made up has Bok goes along but the aim is to try and see as many interesting people and places as possible. Bok will set off from Johannesburg in early March 2010.
