Anyone watching this? I cannot recommend it enough   Much more Mondo Enduro than Long Way Down or Henry Cole.

Just what I thought, great guy on a great bike  Think he uses the same SATNAV as you though

Ha Ha Ha

Mind you just shows how crashable the Ten is.

Shame it took him so long to get rid of those plastic / alloy coated pannier boxes. It wouldn't have been too difficult to get some canvas bags to throw over the seat instead of having all of the weight so high up. I think that might have contributed to soo many offs!

Certainly commendable to pick up a hiker but it would have made it more difficult to ride on those dirt roads.

.........and YES I do know 'cos I lived in Kenya for 4 years and had an XT500!

Good stuff Steve. Missed the first twenty minute which pees me of,f as he went through Namibia, where I used to work over twenty five years ago. It was called SWA, South West Africa, when I arrived, and Namibia when I left
