Of course there is no such thing as individuality

Have you not heard of fashion:
In clothing designers design, fashion houses copy and everyone buys the product.

Holidays: A few Brits go to Spain for a holiday, 30 years later we have communities out there complete with Fish and Chip shops.

The list is endless, wake up and take a look around you sometime.

For what it's worth I enjoy watching it, the Long Way Down too.

Yes, I do ride, a CB 500, but when I go to Tunisia with my family I take a Discovery, been 3 times now but for me it is an adventure every time.
We'll camp at Ksar Ghilane, 1 ground tent, for the kids, one roof tent, me and the wife. We cook on a coleman duel fuel, sit in camping chairs and fetch our own water, pretty basic stuff.
Then, along comes this damn great 4x4 "lorry" (truck), fully kitted out, shower, double bed, hot water, cold water, toilet, etc etc.
So, who's having the adventure, who is doing it the correct way?

We meet convoy's of 3 or 4 vehicles, they're armed with GPS and they're off to El Borma via the dunes. They've not done the route before, there are 4 vehicles and they're pretty well self-sufficient, no TV quality cameras though. Are they any different, is the adventure not there? Ewan and Charlie have support but then so does a convoy of four independant travellers.

Is it not the case that most of the first explorers recorded their expeditions using the equipment of the day, has it stopped others doing the same trip with more modern equipment.

It's just what we do, we are all different, but then are we?
