Announcing The T2 Rally
May 20, 2008
I'm pleased to announce the launch of the all new T2 Rally, and it's website T2Rally.com
This rally was started by the group that left The Africa Rally, and I have to say - we've received nothing but good praise since we launched the website on Saturday. We're all very excited about this, next year we hope to make the rally open to everybody.
Head on over to the website and take a look, why not sign up for the email updates?
Update: The Adventurists Africa Rally
May 20, 2008
Big news, this. I (along with a few others) have pulled out of The Africa Rally.
Differences of opinions between the participants (the customers) and the organisers (the vendors) as to what it meant to be selling a product or service have led to this. However - I'm still preparing the jeep, and still going away - but now under my own terms, and on my own adventure 
New Adventure: CrapHeap Challenge
March 4, 2008
This one is more of a mini-adventure. Crap Car, fully laden with gear for the Africa rally, a convoy of fellow rallyists, no speed limits and the Nurburgring. Who will win the coveted CrapHeap Challenge trophy for the fastest lap time? who cares? there's a party to get to in Prague!
Update: The Adventurists Africa Rally
February 26, 2008
Just a quick update regarding the Africa Rally.
I attended the first briefing session for the rally pariticpants a few weekends ago. Up until then I was comfortable in my blissful ignorance of the dangers we'd be facing - now I'm forced to think about corrupt officials, bandits, land mines, diseases, water... I want my blissful ignorance back! Read more
New Adventure: Australian Postie Bike Challenge
February 24, 2008
This week I completed my entry forms and wired my deposit for the Australian Postie Bike Challenge.
It's described as "The great equaliser for all types of riders - 11days, 3600+km, on an unmodified Honda CT110, through some of Australia's most varied terrains. Rainforest to arid outback". Sounds kinda cool. Last year I met a guy that had ridden his Honda C90 around the world, I guess I'll be finding out what that feels like.
New Adventure: The Adventurists Mongol/Africa Rally

I've entered into The Adventurists Africa Rally, which is a charity event in aid of the Send A Cow charity.
The rally leaves from London's Hyde Park and finishes in Cameroon. The rules of the rally are that there is no fixed route, and that the vehicle you use must have an engine of less than 1000cc. Read more
Past Adventure: Indian Auto Rickshaw Challange
January 9, 2008
I took part in the Indian Auto Rickshaw Challenge during September last year. We raced our rickshaws from Chennai (Madras) to Mumbai, almost 2000 KM.
I've uploaded a bunch of photos into the photography section, I'll try and add some more along with some of the YouTube videos that other participants made during the next few days.
New Adventure: B2 (Budapest-Bamako) Rally
January 7, 2008
I'm currently busily filling in the required paperwork for my entry into the 2009 B2 Rally.
I'm entering the TOURING category, probably in a Suzuki SJ410 SJ413. The B2 Rally is not a charity event, but I'll be trying to raise sponsorship in aid of both Children With Leukaemia and the Teenage Cancer Trust. You can sponsor me here.
The 2008 B2 Rally starts on Saturday. I'll be following the progress of Aravind, Attila and Akos from Bus Number 7, who I met on the 2007 Indian Auto Rickshaw Challenge.
