We are four individuals attempting the challenge of riding motorbikes over 2600 miles from the UK to Casablanca and back. We're doing this to raise funds for The Honeypot Charity which provides care for underprivileged children in the UK.
We depart for France on July 2 so the bike ride itself starts on 3rd: we aim to get to Morocco and back to northern Spain in under 6 days. To make the challenge tougher we'll be sleeping under the stars, and carrying all of our kit with us on the bikes.
My last pic of the trip, we arrived safely at 2.30 today to be greeted by a huge bumble bed and afternoon tea. 2850 miles total and I found out on arrival that we've topped 12k comfortably in total funds raised. We're all home now without incident, although the clip has apparently fallen off Paul's chain again! I'm holding a beer now and it's the first of several. Next week we'll collate all the pics that we took and i'll post them to complete our log of the trip, Cheers!
Just got through passport control and we're finally on british soil! We reckon 3 hours or maybe a bit more to honeypot house. After which we can't wait to get back home and sleep all weekend!
And it's 30 degrees here. We've done 2700 miles and are finally about to set sail for blighy. Can't wait to get to honeypot house tomorrow, the finish point. After a bunch of challenges and scary experiences along the way and a truly unique experience, thoughts now turn to home and we're all keen to get back to loved ones as soon as possible. Personally I can't wait to get back to the office. ;-) look forward to seeing everybody soon.
After dropping his keys into his faring, Jason sustains a flesh wound retrieving them. Muppet! We're now in Santander! More to follow as soon as we're on the boat.
We're here and elated. Going to pitch tents and head into the local village for a snack and just maybe a beer or two. The surroundings are absolutely breathtaking and we're off to get some snaps in the morning.
We've just checked the route to a camp site that Melanie found for us in a place called aguilar de campoo. It's the perfect stop as it's just 60 miles from Santander and we're just 140 miles from where we are now. We're on track for the earliest night we've had ov the trip! And apart from Paul's gooch-chafing issues, we're all on good form. Apparently the site is in some beautiful mountains so we hope to get some good pics up later.
