UK to Australia - Two Up On A Scooter
Oh, how I'd love to claim a link to this, but I can't, but having spent a happy day reading I thought I'd pass on the story of Michael and Nita Marriott.
In 1956 they set off from the UK on their 150cc NSU Prima, next stop Australia. They published a book, but of course it's long out of print, but it's been reproduced with their permission as a blog, which you can read HERE.
I love these kind of stories, they fill me with a "can-do" spirit while I sit here reading about which of the latest GPS systems I can't afford.
