Two normal blokes who met by chance in Tenby, Pembrokeshire both with a passion for motorbiking.
We ended up as neighbours as well as riding buddies.
Individually, we were both inspired by Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boormans "Long Way Round" DVD.
We came across EnduroAfrica by chance and decided that we could ride off-road in South Africa AND raise funds for worthwhile causes on a similar adventure.
Madness? Probably but what a challenge! And a massive opportunity for us to physically help people who need help the most - babies born as HIV+ in South Africa
The aim of the rally is to raise at least £300,000 to the charities EnduroAfrica supports together with 198 like minded bikers from all over the world.
With us that will be a record 200 riders for the November 2008 rally.
