The latest update has Charley and Claudio somewhere in Papa New Guinea. If your interested in Claudio's work it worth taking a look here:
FreeWestPapua.org - For a Free and Independent West Papua - Home
Some of the film regarding this much overlooked atrocity was shot by him.
Cheers

Thanks.
I've never been much of a diarist so no blogging for me. I'll just enjoy the trip and hope the natives are friendly. I may take the odd photo tho.

Not just Kevin Mcloud (total contrast to shouty "WOW" Boorman), but also Waking the Dead (shouty, but less "WOW-ey").
Luckily there's C4+1 and the Beeb is repeating BAM2 on Monday BBC2 at 11.20-ish.

you know what...I really enjoyed it! was great to see the move away from preperation, paperwork and the film makers themselves to the actual journey. It was literally "High Im Charley Boorman and Im going from Sydney to Tokyo" and then he jumped on a bike and went off!
Pining for my own Spitfire now, and at a frosty 250 grand Il be pining a while!
Couple of good off road bike companies featured, both on east coast of oz;
'fair dinkum bikers' and 'deus ex machina' deffinately worth a look.
Roll on sunday night

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
