Round the world ... on Tigers

Apologies if this has been posted before - just stumbled across it on the ol' Interweb.

A couple of guys appear to be doing "long way round" on Triumph Tigers, on £20 a day, for some local (UK) charities.

Site, blog, pictures, links for donations etc. at http://www.poor-circulation.net/ if you're interested.

... you're not too old Steven

On their 20 pounds a day budget they will be getting to meet the locals - which will enrich the experience.

I sense a book out of this trip.

Thanks Grant. Age isn't the issue though!! It is my 3 boys (10, 8 & 6) that I have to remain responsible about!!

I'd do it in a heart beat. 50 y.o next month so that would be a lovely birthday present.

My wife and I are planning on another backpacking trip for a year or so when the youngest is 16 or so. We have done 3 major trips so far! I live for the local contact and markets.
