    Me and the Missus have just had 3 weeks in Vietnam and while we were there we spent a little time doing the Ho Chi Minh trail utilising a local guide and his bikes.
    we only did about 350 or so Km but it was the best few days riding I have ever done and it certainly has to be one of the friendliest and most beautiful places in the world..
    Not only that - once you are there its so cheap

    We will be back again at the end of this year or Jan next to spend more time on the trial.

    One of the must things to see and do before you give up

    The road from Ullapool to Durness!
    And all the others in north west Scotland!
    You can buy "The Macallan" in most bars, the locals speak english (nearly), hospitality great, and rides to die for.
    May have to plan for last minute trip as weather can be a problem - but then the bars have reasonable opening times!

    Re: If you were to go on One Last Trip !

    Well then I have booked some sort of fishing trawler out the docks at Immingham at the end of June which will drop me off in the darkness at some cave entrance in Scandinavia

    From there is the start of the 2010 Gravel Rash tour into the Arctic through Sweden,Norway, Finland up to the Russian border and back.

    routed about 1000 miles of gravel tracks through the Forestry and over the mountains so should be all good for another EPIC solo trip

    Sounds like a damn good trip to me, 1000 miles of dirt and gravel, can a real man ask for more!?

    You do give Adventure riding a good name Chris. Thinking outside the box again!

    Have the safest of trips, video what you can, then bore us all on your return with your normal high quality reports

    Jealous of you big guy, real jealous
