The end of overlanding
Do you think the end of Overlanding has arrived, seriously? My first trip, UK to India in 31 days, August 1995, followed by UK to Timbuktu in 16 days in 2006, plus a number of other trips, seem such a distant memory. I am 58 yrs of age, 59 in May 2022. I originally planned to ride from the UK to Capetown when I turned 55, three years ago. Unfortunately, my mum was diagnosed with advanced cancer, therefore, meaning I didn't feel I could abandon her to pursue my dream. Fast forward to now, I can see no end to this covid nonsense, which, to me, means, in my lifetime, the end to overland travel. The sad thing now, is, that I am now in a position, financially, to spend three to four months travelling, rather than, doing such journeys in insane times, as I have previously done. Is this the end? Seriously, when do you think riding from England to Capetown will be viable again?
