Hi, We're on a bit of a schedule at the moment. We need to get to Quito by 20 May for a Galapagos trip that we booked before we left. Currently in El Tunco, El Salvador frying nicely in the heat. Once we've been to the Galapagos we will slow down for a bit. Mark

Anyone Out There ? Ok so we're in Guatemala hanging out by Lago de Atitlan. We haven't met anyone else doing the Pan-am in months. Is there anyone else out there ? Mark www.fromatob.org

Hi, There are three main things we would use a motorbike for: 1) Scouting a route through a town to make sure we avoid roads that are too narrow - not got good enough clearance. 2) When the towns have small streets and we can only camp outside town - getting into the centre. 3) Visiting things...

Hi Hani, Towing a vehicle behind us would have been a serious problem for us. It would make a lot of the spots we've managed to get through much harder - particularly some of the towns we've been through so far in Mexico. Also off road it would diminish our abilities. In Mexico it would have...

Hi Tony And Karen, Good to see another one of Ed's trucks roll of the production line. We've certainly caused a stir over here with ours - every other person wants to talk to us about it - and a good few want to buy one. We've been going 8 weeks now and a few observations: We had a couple of...

hi Justin and Nadine, Thanks for posting - I have now started reading your blog and it gives us some great tips of what to do - or not. Really enjoyed reading it so far. We'll keep tabs and if we get close to each other we'll give you a shout. Mark and Sarh

Hi Erik, Sounds like fun. We'd be up for doing this if you could show us where. Half the problem is finding tracks where you know you went get it real trouble and have to reverse out. Not so easy when you are as big as us. Mark

Hi Gren, Sarah says a special hello as her hometown is corntown just next to you in Bridgend ! Regards, Mark

Thanks for the offers guys. We are a bit tentative about taking our baby off-road at the moment. Slow is good though and it can cope - low range in a campsite gave us bags of control. So maybe we should ! We are currently on route to Niagara before heading West. Mark

Hi, We did get stung for that toll - oh well. The cost of shipping the camper was all told about £4k. We had to ship the camper empty so we also shipped a 1m cubed crate which was about £500 of the £4k. We also got insurance for camper and crate which was around £750. In addition CAD600 were...

Hi All, We are just starting out on our almost 2 year adventure to drive from Alaska down to the bottom of Argentina. We collected our truck from the port in Halifax a couple of days ago after shipping it across from the UK. We've just had a couple of days in a Nova Scotia campsite to get...
