Must admit, I just been re-watching "The Long Way Round" and find myself hankering after a bit of a biking adventure. I've ridden trials bikes in competition, crossers and trailies quite a bit, so i think I could cope with off-roading better than Ewan MacGregor

Jools, if you ever get the chance look out for Mondo Enduro and Terra Circa on Tv or DVD.

Both are about a group a of lads doing the round world trips on a shoe string, unsponsored on DR350's.

They did the Road of Bones twice long before Ewan and Charlie, and IMHO their trips are far more entertaining than The Long Way Round.

I'd love to that sort of thing myself.

Now they look great, and i loved my previous Multi Larder (which as you know took me to Morocco and some gentle off road) but was just not designed or capable of doing the sort of stuff i've done on the KTM.

I really want to be Ewan, but got hit with the same ugly stick as Charlie

I have the short demo of these that they gave away on TWO. I keep meaning to try and track down the full films but have not seen them as yet. What there is on the short version is great stuff though well worth watching.
