The Route... subject to change! Yamaha TTR250 - my bike for Africa.

On October 14th 2006 I left the UK to ride the length of Africa. I'd always fancied the challenge of motorcycling across the Dark Continent and it certainly turned out to be a adventure. Ten-thousand miles and four months later I rolled into Cape Town, just about it one piece!
