DD2012 for Help for Heroes
We completed on Saturday our expedition on motorbikes in aid of Help for Heroes. Our original plan was to go from Uk to Dubai but due to the trouble that hit the Arab nations 5 days before our departure regarding the you tube film and the killing of the US Ambassador we had to dramatically change our plans in 5 days.
Instead we did a trip around the Black Sea through:
UK
France
Belgium
Holland
Germany
Poland
Czech Republic
Ukraine
Russia
Georgia
Turkey
Bulgaria
Greece
Serbia
Croatia
Slovenia
Austria
Luxembourg
A trip of 6300 miles in 14 days. The longest day we did was 728 miles!!!

The Military Road in Georgia was spectacular and apart from the 20km or so of real rough rough it was a road that everyone should drive. Long mountain straights, high speed switch backs it had everything.
Russia was great and very friendly. The Ukraine roads....stay away from them, they are a nightmare!!
All in all a fantastic expedition. If anyone has any questions on any element please just ask.
