Madagascar - a place I've dreamt about visiting ever since camping on a Mozambique beach under a full moon and gazing out across the Indian Ocean. Although it's out of sight, knowing that there was this immense and slightly mysterious island out there.
And so, some years later (other travels and work got in the way) , here I am heading that way for some travel and exploration.

My Dad mis-read the name of this trip (every journey needs a title) and chuckled "Hapless, that about sums up all your trips" thanks for the vote of confidence Dad!
In fact it's Mapless, although I am taking some maps, many of the places that I'm hoping to visit are not actually on a map, they're too small and too remote - just the type of places I like.
I've even got a sticker for the trip - very un-British of me




For those still unsure, Madagascar is the island to the right of the front wheel on the bike.

Aah yes, the bike...Thelma- she's NOT coming with me on this one. She's my 1992 BW R80GS, she's done well over 200,000 miles and for the first time I am not taking her, it's just to expensive to ship her over.

I'll be there for three months exploring and travelling, mostly on my own, although my sister (quiet librarian) will be joining me for three weeks of pillion riding.
