"My ambition is to meet the people working in the aid agencies along the way and see their efforts"
View the team log

Career highlight
Living with the Samburu and Turkana tribes in Kenya providing primary health care and vaccination programmes to the nomadic tribes.

Being the first UN vehicle into the Lipa valley in Pakistan controlled Kashmir after the earthquake, over a 3200m mountain pass, to assess the damage and medical needs of the community.

First bike
Honda CX 500

Greatest Long Way Round moment
Jim and Charley wrestling in those girly outfits just beats the river crossing with the vehicles.

Biking song?
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Snow (Hey Oh) and Dani California

Ambition for Long Way Down
To meet the people working in the aid agencies along the way and see their efforts, to travel up the Nile and great Rift Valley and to get from beginning to end without Charlie pulling a wheelie.

What kind of traveller?
Love to be part of a team when travelling although I don't function well in the mornings until I've had my morning coffee!
