Starting in August 2023 in Bogota, Columbia, we will travel 18,000 km south through Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Chile, Argentina, Chile, Argentina and to the end of the world at Ushuaia.

Then it’s back north through Chile to Argentina and a finish in Buenos Aires in early December.

Well that’s the plan!

For this journey we have left the trusted tandem bicycle at home and have swapped it for 1,250 horses in the shape of a BMW GSA motorcycle.

No longer will there be tears and tantrums (that’s me not Susan) when a mountain approaches. Instead, with a flick of the wrist and wind in my groin we will speed to the top. I may have moaned my way over the Rockies (twice) and broken down in the Blue Mountains of Australia but bring on the Andes for I have no fear sitting on my 1,250 horses.

Well that’s the plan!

And of course we all know what Helmuth Von Moltke said ‘no plan survives first contact with the enemy’.

Oh dear!
