Had Jimmy and Claudio, the two cameramen, in work a couple of weeks ago to discuss what camera kit they were taking: Went for a ride with Claudio on his scooter to see which tankbags he wanted and stuff. It was kinda weird, but I liked being able to help out in some way!

So the BBC seem on board early on this time. Good news. Should be fun to watch, probably more fun just to watch, eek!

Their proposed route looks interesting; a straight line going (sometimes) through peoples houses! Boy, those BMW's can go anywhere

Pretty cool, I'm looking forward to watching this.

Botswana and South Africa is such a wonderful place, will be nice to see the places I've been to on TV.

Thanks for the heads up Lynw
