A Motorcycle Odyssey - One mans trip over 30000 miles from Cardiff, UK to Vancouver, Canada:
A funny and uncensored take on a round the world trip by motorbike. Includes all the pain and drama, the highs and lows and the downright unbelievable situations that arise on a RTW trip. Who'd believe that three motorcyclists would evade the Pakistani Anti Terrorist police for days on end.
When Allison and Mark left London for Africa, they still had not bought a map or figured out how to use a GPS... so when they got off the M25 things were looking up.

"Between May 2007 and March 2008, a charity journey by motorcycle of 28,111 miles was ridden. It began from the UK, heading for Australia, overland on a BMW F650GS Dakar motorcycle. The route was ... through Eastern Europe, Russia, Kazakhstan, China and India before heading to Malaysia and to the penultimate country, Singapore before reaching Australia. The trip was in aid of the charity 'Make-a-Wish Foundation', a very worthwhile cause, for whom money and awareness is being raised and your support is kindly requested.
