It is now time for a new adventure. This time I have decided to raise money for Willen Hospice in Milton Keynes. The plan is to ride 2,500km through the Western Ghats of India, starting in Goa, and ridding through Karnataca, Kerala and Tamal Nardu. We will be steering clear of main roads and using local trails as far as possible and hope to find some unusual off the beaten track places. If you enjoy my blog, please make a donation at: http://www.justgiving.com/Shaun-Toms The trip is funded by myself so all proceeds will go to Willen Hospice.... full info

P1290085

Into the wilderness.

Further up the mountain, the road eventually turns into a winding dirt track.

Incredible views

Time for some moto cross!

I am not sure what the hire company would think to this!

Some fat bloke up a mountain!

Deep in thought overlooking a coffee plantation

P1290098

Hmong Village (Mountain people)

I didn't take to many pictures here as it felt a bit vouyeristic.

End of the road.

At this point it was time to turn back. Todays journey was the most enjoyable motorcycle ride of my life. And yes, I know............ on a Honda 125 step through!

Blimey - it's taken me this long to access your blog - operator trouble my end ... anyway ... "wow" about sums up what I'm seeing via the photos - somehow asking to be sent back a stick of rock doesn't quite equate with the whole environment you're experiencing ... and am I jealous?!!!!!!!!! Never!!!!! Stay safe and keep enjoying :)
