Getting There is Half the Fun - Motorcycle Adventures - Will Wilkins & Kate Macdonell

After living in Australia for 12 years,\\xa0Will & Kate were feeling homesick for the UK and decided it was time to go home. They could have just booked a flight and within the day been back home.\\xa0But when opportunity knocks, why not open the door?

Many people find it hard in their busy lives to take the time to go on an adventure. It seems to be a common thread where we all long for it, but don\'t seem able to pull it together. Will and Kate had already done some travelling, but not on their motorcycles, especially as Kate was a new rider and hadn\'t done any long rides as yet. This was their chance to turn a long move in to an amazing trip spanning across 20 countries and about 21,000 km.

In two months, they planned their trip and then left Wollongong for Woolwich. They experienced many different cultures, and had varying receptions. They faced food and accommodation challenges. And although well planned, they still had stressful times, and dramatic moments. But, through and through, it was an escapade which they thoroughly enjoyed...\\xa0and much more fun than a long plane ride.
