Me in my uni days.
Inspired by the epic 'Long Way Round' with Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman, my housemate and soon to become travelling companion Adam Dale and I realised the true extent of distance between the UK and China. . . ."It's a F**king long way isn't it?" I remember one of us remarking.
At the time, it seemed like a good idea, "Let's hitchike from the UK to China!" The next morning it still seemed like a good idea. By the time graduation came it still seemed like a good idea. Today it still seems like a good idea. Only Time will tell.
The Journey will see Adam and myself travel from Newcastle upon Tyne (UK) overland to Shanghai (China).
