Travels all over the world, in Portugese and English
Kris Nijs, Belgium, ST1100, 4 years of travelling and 63 countries and 261,000 kilometers. Finished 27 September 2003...ridden every continent but Antarctica.
On July 1st, 1994, Australian motorcyclists Walter Colebatch and James Mudie set out from Japan to become the first people "to ride and conquer the roads, cities and vast expanses of China, Mongolia, Siberia and Kazakhstan" on their way to London.
Lost On Earth follows Australian Steve Crombie, a 26-year old attempting to be the youngest person to circumnavigate the world by land and sea by motorcycle and first to visit the seven natural wonders of the world by land and sea.
Around the world. "I'm just trying to inspire people to do a dream trip. Most people say they can't do it. No time, no money, whatever, but I believe it comes down to desire. I had to quit a good business, give all my customers away to my competition, as sell some 'toys' to do this trip. I had the desire!"
"Having trekked to Everest Base Camp, rafted down the Sun-Kosi River in Nepal, travelled extensively through the Australian deserts, rode BMW motorbikes through Asia, and travelled overland from Hong Kong to Pakistan through China we were after another adventure.
In 1998/1999 myself, Geoff Kingsmill, a computer consultant from Alice Springs Australia, my wife Kienny and nine year old daughter Su-lin shipped our Toyota Landcruiser to South Africa and then drove to London. The lure of Africa was just too much so in 2000 we spent two months travelling through the Sahara Desert in Tunisia and Libya.
Not being content, we hit the road again in 2004 and drove through Russia, Mongolia and Scandinavia to Europe, starting in Vladivostok on the sea of Japan and finishing in London, some 25,000km to the west."
Very good, plenty of info on Africa (of special interest is the Sudan - Ethiopia - Egypt bits); Russian and Mongolia. Please find the updated information on using a GPS in Russia and Mongolia.
