What's it all about?

Welcome to ‘ajourneybybike’ over the coming year this weblog will follow our fundraising trip through the South American Andes.

The aim of these pre trip postings is to give potential sponsors, equipment suppliers and other interested parties an idea of what to expect over the next year and 9906 KM (ish).

We will be posting to this site whenever we can, sometimes several times a week at other times there may be a month between posts. Either way this site will follow our ups and downs. There’ll be some great photos of the places we’ve passed and we’ll also use the blog to let other travellers know about places not to be missed and where to avoid!

We’ve spent an awful lot of time researching and money buying the kit we need for the journey. We’ve had some great support and advice from manufacturers, distributors and other nice people so we’d love to let everyone know how YOUR kit is doing. We’d really like this to be an online resource for others planning a similar trip. We hope manufacturers will see it as an extended field trial. Any criticism will be constructive and we hope it’ll be welcomed with open arms.

To get this working to it’s full potential ‘links’ to and from other sites are essential, we hope in the future we can cross link with manufacturers, suppliers and other blogs to create an in depth and interesting resource and online diary
