Adventures Guaranteed

5 weeks till departure

Amazingly, we still have 5 weeks until the adventure begins and we seem to be quite well organised. Tickets are booked, a rough plan is in place that will ensure we get to where need to be and some research has been done to ensure we make the most of our time away.

This is all very unlike us so expect some panic a little later on!

Last night most of the group met up for a planning session, a few beers and some BBQ meat! We managed to conclude that on the first night we need to get past Paris. Then, completely overwhelmed by the effort involved in making such a decision, we gave up on the planning and got back to the beer.

Dave and Leigh had a taste of Wayne’s special sauce!

At 234,000 on the Scoville scale, it caused tears and a bit of breathlessness in Leigh and a sudden, unquenchable, burning thirst in both that resulted in even more beers going down the hatch!

We have to test out some equipment for the trip so keep an eye open for that coming soon!

Shane Marriott

Shane has a hunger for adventure that neither his wallet, free time nor other-half will support. Ever the optimist, after riding a Suzuki Bandit 600 for a few years and completing a Level 1 Advanced course at the "World of BMW" school in Wales he has put his money where is mouth is and invested in a brand new, fully spec'd BMW R1200GS Adventure ("30 Years GS" version). It is planned that this awesome machine will take him round Iceland, help him win the HUMM event and get safely to the beer festival in Germany! So; is Shane ready for the Adventure? I think we need to ask if the Adventure is ready for him?
