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.

Right Way Round ..' ?? Well, I'm not even sure where this trip will end. You see, I'm the original 'Uneasy Rider' .. not especially blessed with much natural motorcycling talent, nor am I a particularly courageous motorcycle rider. Nevertheless I went 'Right Way Round' New Zealand (3 times) - and then Australia.
Now it's up to South-east Asia and a ride beyond, through Indo-China, over the Himalayas, across to Asia Minor and maybe some of Africa .. finishing in Europe.
Right Way Round - all the way home .. to England on a Honda Transalp, or bust?!
