Rosco's Blog from Arequipa... We left Cusco around 8.45am and headed South to Sicuani, and headed West to Yauri, via unsealed mountain roads that took us in excess of 4,000m. We hped to get some lunch in Yauri, but the few ‘Resturants’ that we came across, Gerardo wouldn’t feed his dog there, so we moved on, stopping high in the next mountain pass to put on a bit more gear and munch a chocolate bar, as snow began to fall. As we dropped in altitude, the temperature tended to rise. There was a lot of road works taking place and a lot of the sections that were so rough last year have been paved. The downhill run to Chivay, which was so rutted last year, has also been paved, consequently we all arrived at Chivay around ... read more

Rosco’s Blog from Uyuni Well what a contrast from last year, we even saw a grader on the route into Bolivia, through the South West entry point. We checked out of Argentina and didn’t intend going into Chile, but the officials insisted that we were going to Chile! So we agreed with them, got our exit stamp and set off for the Bolivian Boarder. When we got there and said we came from Argentina, they insisted that we had come from Chile, OK no Problemo, we came from Chile, got our stamp, met up with our guide and food, drink and bedding provider for the next three days and headed off into the Bolivian landscape. With no disrespect to BMW, but the Kawasaki KLR, allowed me to actually enjoy the challenge of the Bolivian sand and ... read more

Here we are in Cafayate, Argentina. We left Chilecito on a fine day and made our way to Andalgala. The problem is that there were a lot of road works, with the urgent need to 'Pave the World', I guess, before the oil runs out ?. If they continue at this rate, before long we will be able to do Harley tours over here, just joking really, as we there are still plenty of adventure roads over here... Leo took a dive while exiting one of the river crossing on the road from Andalgala to Santa Maria, but lucky for him it was a sandy landing, he winded himself and hurt his pride a bit, and broke the left hand mirror, he is currently out shopping for a replacement. Actually he featured high on yesterdays ride, ... read more

Here are a couple of blogs from the boys. un abrazo, Rosco Brian’s blog part 1 UP THE CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE (Trans-script from Brian’s own hand) Yesterday we left Vina del mar at approx 1.30pm. I parted the team(got lossed) • in a town with 4 million people • no map of the city • driving on the right side of the road • no one speaking English • and a 400km journey on my own........... Quite an adventure for a country boy. I made it to our destination with no problems at all, arriving 1 hour before our ... read more

Broken Bones and we haven't left home yet !!! David ‘Broken Bones’, one of the adventurers, fell off his dirt bike a few weeks ago, while fooling around out in the forest, and broke his shoulder blade, well that was a big bugger, as it was jeopardising his adventure ride with us. After lots of physiotherapy and taking it real easy, like no changing of the babies nappy, having his wife tie his shoe laces etc. When I say “Take care out there”, that’s sort of what I mean. Anyway, he gave me a call yesterday and has been cleared by the hospital to ride with us, so that’s just great news. Also, you won't find a picture of Murray Goss, he will be driving the chase truck, his yellow local transport is a bit of ... read more
