Now back Home in Yorkshire. Looking back It was truly a amazing ride it took us 1 year and 16 days and we rode 44.952 miles.

I'm going through the photos now which cover the second part of our trip. I will be updating the report soon.

Thanks Leigh

Come on Leigh . turn off Coronation Street and Eastender's and get your finger out and finish this :whistle:

I'm sorry I have not managed to catch up with our blog. Our two year trip was cut short into the 2nd year due to Darren's mother being taken ill.

So we have been taking care of her which takes most of our time. Now we have managed to get some help for her if gives me some free time and also Darren was offered a part time job at Colin Appleyard Motorcycles where he now works part time.

Colin Appleyard Motorcycle Keighley hold a few of these event per year ( a evening with ). Always motorcycle related. The events are free to all and there will be free pie and peas and drink at the interval . There is a donation bucket for anyone who would like to donate to Macmillen Cancer support.

It's the first time we have ever do anything like this so were both quite nervous . This week were working on the short movie clips of the trip which will also include the 7 months I missed out from our blog.

We hope to see some ABR's there so please come up to us and make your self know.

Thanks very much . Leigh x

Anyone coming a distance we have room for about 4 , 2 man peg down tents and 3 self standing tents on a hard surface .

Sorrry to hear about Darren's mother I well appreciate how this can take up your time. As I've said in another thread on your talk sorry I can't make it as it is a bit far from Folkestone and we are catching the ferry on the 29th to France. Would still love to hear the second part of the report so if you are doing a video of your 'talk' or even have a presentation of the photos pop them on the forum for those of us too far away to attend please.
