Charley Boorman seeking 2 wheeled friends in n.australia

Hello everyone.

I am working on a new television series for Charley Boorman called By Any Means 2. He has just set off from Sydney and is traveling over land to Northern Japan.

At the end of May, he was planning to ride from Cairns up to Cooktown via Mossman through the Daintree forest. Sadly the guys he was planning to do it with have fallen through, so we are trying to find some local riders who might be able to join him.

If you live around Cairns / Port Douglas / Mossman and have a bike and think you might be able to take Charley on a couple of great days off road riding up towards Cooktown, we would love to hear from you.

You can contact me on ollie@longwaydown.com

Thank yoooou

Possible mate for Boorman's N Australia ride

Mr. O, I suggest (kiwiryder), JEFF CONDON who was featured in National Geographic's production called "The Ride." (Alaska-Patagonia, Argentina) "Van Man," Jeff owns a home in Australia and has already filmed a pilot for his own adventure series in Northern Australia. He knows Australia like Chris Scott knows the Sahara and he also knows Chris Scott.

Right now, Jeff is a guide for Globe Busters and is doing reconnaissance (preliminary surveying and research) in Tibet, or near Tibet with Kev of BMW and Globe Busters, for a future tour. He may be available?

Jeff is an exceptional world class adventure motorcyclist, machinist/welder/mechanic. He is very capable .... very smart, sensitive, easy going and humorous.

You can private message him via HU or Globe Busters. Good Luck and

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB.
