Santa brought me LWD too.
I wish they would at least acknowledge those whose books, dvd's, etc, they used as reference. Not really an adventure if you're working to such a tight and rigid schedule. At least they make better entertainment than that bloke who does "Riding Eastern Europe" for the Travel Channel. Can't say you wouldn't love it as a job though.
The main thing that stood out for me while watching LWR was that if anything major had gone wrong, they had the money and means to have bailed out of it at any time, called in a helicopter and be airlifted to safety. Respect to those who have done it themselves, on their own bikes, with their own money, no back up crew and have pretty much no choice except carry on or turn back if it goes tits up.
Did make me laugh when the Snap-On gear arrived, with a tool chest "especially made for Charley Boorman". Watching him fit the pannier brackets at the BMW dealer, it was quite clear the guy didn't know one end of a spanner from his own arsehole.
A comment on Charley from The Times, ...is questioned by four policemen at Gatwick after telling an air stewardess that he has a bomb;". 12 of my mates were stripped searched at Newcastle Airport for one of them saying exactly the same thing. Now that would have made funny TV.

I also got "The Linger Longer" by Simon & Chris Raven, which is UK to Vladivostok by £300 Ford Sierra. Not bad, but the typos, spelling mistakes, bad grammar and general weirdness ("window screen" not "windscreen", anyone?) is driving my barmy, do people not use proof-readers anymore (checks to see his spelling and grammar is ok).
But that's nothing to do with E & C is it?

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. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
