Time to say hello from London, UK!
 

Hello to everyone on the HUBB!

My name is Ben, and I've been hammering the website for too long now without saying hello.

I'm currently selling up my worldly belongings in preparation for a round the world trip starting in early 2016.

My outline plan is to do a prologue trip around Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way (in order to test my gear and make adjustments before I'm too far from home to fix big problems), then head up to Scotland, across to Europe riding up to the northern tip of Norway, back down through central Europe, the Alps, the med.

At this point decide I'll decide whether to do a full trans-Africa (based on my timing of the seasons and the political state of countries along the route). If Africa is a no-go, I'll do a raid into Morocco before heading east and starting the round the world route.

I'll be looking to do as much of the trip on my bike, but there are of course places where I will have to ship cargo.

I'll be building a website to blog my travel experiences, and by way of logging everything I'll learn, all my kit, and everything I do basically!

Well thats it, hello everybody! Watch this space!

Ben

Welcome to the HUBB.

If you head East, and plan to go through the "Stans" and Russia, keep in mind that you cannot get a Russian visa on the road. You have to apply in your country of residence.

Maybe see you on the road !

Cheers,

Welcome and let me know when your in Norway ;)

Sounds like a great trip, how long are you planning on taking?
