wow what a adventure, would you do something like this, i think i would if i had the time plus the cash just in case something went wrong

[grahamw48]

That's a good one . :icon_lol:

I was going to do the same in 2005...but to Hong Kong on my pushbike.

After spending a couple of thousand quid just on the bike and equipment, decided I'd miss my son too much. :cwm3:

[stevewool]

you could do that now Graham, i am sure i have an old B S A Bike with 3 gears, will that help

[grahamw48]

Haha...very kind Steve. :icon_lol:

I do have a pushbike, well, two, but busy saving up for a plane journey to the Phils now. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

It would be great to have some company, but May is too soon, because my boy is coming back home June 1st. More like September I reckon. :smile:

I met a Brit in the UK once that was sitting in his Filipino passenger Jeepney in Milton Keynes.
He drove it back from R.P..
Now thats what I call adventure!

Think this is the one?

Now if this thing had an MOT,why does it still need a lump of 2x2 under the back wheel?

[grahamw48]

I'd love to have one of those owner Jeepneys here. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I suppose if this can pass an MOT.... :biggrin:

If I was single I'd love to join him :xxgrinning--00xx3:

What a fantastic thing to do.

[grahamw48]

I hope he's coming back with the money raised...not just using it to finance his journey and to build a nice home extension in Laguna. :icon_lol: I'm such an old cynic. :NoNo:

I hope so too Graham :Erm:

I followed your link but didn't know what to do after that.

I do hope he's not just pulling our :censored:

I trust your judgement, what do you see? Seriously.

I suppose it could cost £5000 to do the journey when you take the time fuel and border bribes into consideration!:Erm:

It's just his facebook page...nothing amiss really. :wink:

Yes, but presumably he's seeking sponsorship, and he's hoping to have the 5 grand left out of that to give to Oxfam. :smile:
