Hey Hey People!

Exciting times AHOY! Sam and I are planning a bit of a road trip mid/end next year which is going to be MEGA! Whoop whoop!

The plan is... Travel from the tip of Alaska alllll the way down through South America to Ushuaia then potentially flying over to South Africa and travelling up home to the UK... all on motorbikes!

Wheeee!

The only stumbling block we kind of have at the moment is that I've never ridden a motorbike before (haha!) so am kind of having to get on board quickly and get me some off roading jaunts sorted! Sam has done muchos on a bike though (travelled around the world pretty much) so I have an experienced one to help guide!

We're going to be doing it all for charity although not fully set on which ones to go for - any suggestions would be fab! We've got a meeting in the next couple of weeks with a campaign called Get On... they're very interested in following the whole thing through and have suggested filming and things too. They recently helped a load of celebrities get on bikes (people from Corrie and Blue Peter etc) so they could get them down to Africa for a Charity cause.

As we're doing it for charity, if there's anyone here that has any journalistic links to people who might be interested in doing an article over what we're doing... that would be mega helpful. That or TV/Radio links too! We want as much coverage as possible so we can raise as much wonga as we can!

So... yeh! Wheeeeeeeee! Hahaha! Can't wait! The bikes we're sorting out are KTM Enduros 690 R... should be a giggle!

Watch this space! BARM BAAAAAAAARRRRRM!
