Kinvig is off Round The World on a BMW Dakar from 1st April..!

good luck mate! So its the long way round for u then!

Pah! He'll be back.







I applaud you for doing what others only think about doing. An experience of a life time. My only advice is to take as many pictures as you possibly can. I say this as I have done some incredible and amazing things myself. You would think that doing something so incredible would be embossed in the memory for a lifetime. But I can assure you, when all your adventuring days are in the past the memory of those times will become ever so more distant and dry up to the point you can't really believe it was you that did those things. Unless that is, you have photographic evidence to recall all the issues, thrills, troubles and spills that you had along your journey. Take a camera and then pack another one just in case also plenty of memory cards.



And when you get back, don't forget to bring me my stick of rock.

And write a diary, at least so you know where you took all the photos! Looking forward to the progress reports.

Good luck - lucky git.

Looking forward to seeing the pics and blog.

Bet you'll find that involves a long wait and then a 'fine' but you'll get in no worries!

I prostrate myself before you mate. Respect is due.

Try and get the Gucci watch in the photos...

Wow! Nice one.....

They're just getting you back for calling their country "Magnolia" on the visa application.

Just had a look at your guest book and Ewan McGregor has left you a message, how cool is that!

Dirk all the best to you and loads of respect!

As you are going alone watch your back! and take loads of pix with the locals!

Maybe we should do an ar09 in a similar fashion?
