We 6 of us, on a bike costing no more than 250 of your finest pounds, with small panniers to carry your crao, incl tent. Set off to athens for cancer research.

Rode round silverstone, met mansell, he thought we were mad.. met some marvellous lovely helpful people on the way, many a mishap, rode to the top of the alps, through the black forest, croatian coastal road. Into macedonia, theyre a bit mad there.. the government warned us not to ride, or stop in albania, we did both. Met the chief of police down there, he was smashed staggering out of a remote cafe. Got in his car drove off laughing... camped most of the way!!!

Was awesome.
