Where it all started...

Our journey sort of starts here, almost 3 years ago, when we first hatched our plan, courtesy of the fine two-wheeled extravaganza that is the London Motorcyle Show.

There we met a couple who had recently gone from Anchorage to Ushuaia in a record breaking 35 days or so....

We chatted: North america, blah-blah, central America, yeah-whatever....Patagonia....Now just hold on there one second, we cried, tell us more!

Since then we have been plotting, reading, planning, scrimping and saving and courtesy of Bank of Nick's Dad we ( this is nick's favourite) bought a corker of a bike, just right for the job....

Of course, that was then and this is now and a lot has happened. We find ourselves 4 weeks from departure,and it still seems like a mountain of things to do.
