THE COST

The cost of the trip will consist mainly of the motorbike that I selected for the Adventure.

I have chosen a R1200GS BMW. Reliability is key to success and many a trip through Africa has been explored on these powerful machines, including Charley Boorman & Ewan McGregor on the well publicized ‘The Long Way Down’. It has a proven track record.

I have managed to find a 2005 model with only 780 miles on the clock in the UK.

The cost of the motorcycle was £ 6150, which I intend to fund myself.

After the trip I intend to sell all the gear (all equipment funded), excluding the motorbike and further donate the proceeds to the chosen charity.

*The cost of the motorbike will be funded by myself.
