I will depart from Ealing, which I called my home for the period I worked in London as an Engineering Consultant, on 29 July 2010, my birthday.

The route will take me through approximately 12 countries to my destination Cape Town. The countries include UK, France, Italy, Egypt, Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Botswana and South Africa.

Traveling long distance on a motorbike will be challenging. I plan to ride 3 to 4 days at a pace of 350 to 500 km per day depending on road conditions, punctures, breakdowns, border crossings, etc.

As far as possible I plan to camp off the road, however will need to make use of hostels and hotels on some parts of the trip. On my days off I want to explore the area and experience the cultures of the local people. The total estimated distance will be 15000 km, thus it could take me up to 52 days or more to complete. As far as possible I will visit some of the Riders's locations to see how they go about their daily helping of people in remote villages.

I hope to reach my destination end of September 2010.
