Countdown ...

Just over two weeks to go before I fly out to start the trip.

Today I delivered the bike to Motofreight for shipment to Bogota. Tim made us a lovely cup of tea, checked the bike, did the paper work and that’s it. All set to fly.

Everything else is packed ready for the trip. I'm using pretty much the same kit list as I used in China but slimmed down a bit (no Jetboil, cafetière or heated jacket) so that there is enough room in the panniers for Sue's kit when she joins me in Santiago.

One small addition is the Spot Tracker that I use for walking. It sends a GPS position via satellite every 30 minutes. The positions are displayed on a webpage so if you want to keep track of where I am you can find me on:




The tracker also has an SOS button that sends my position to the local rescue services wherever I am in the world. It doesn't guarantee I'll get help but at least someone will know where I am.
