You certainly need balls to attempt what they did on the Long Way Round.

But given the amount of support they took with them,I'm sure one bollock would be plenty !

He's making it look easier than the training at the moment. Must be feckin irritatin to have a fancy BMW support vehicle be so problematic. I can't help feeling that he is not in the right frame of mind though. Seems to be feeling the pressure trhat must come with all the build yup and expectation that there has been.

Race to Dakar

I have just finished watching all 7 episodes of the "Race to Dakar" film. Wow! What a superb insight to the Dakar race the film is. Watching the episode of the start in Portugal reminded me of the time I rode with Simon Pavey and Nick Plumb at the start of the 2003 Dakar from Marseille in France, when I was assisting them for the European stages.

My deepest respect to what these guys achieved, it was very nice to see that the film not only featured Charlie but everyone else involved in the race including, Simon Pavey, Nick Plumb, Patsy Quick etc. and all the other British guys and just the ordinary people involved. It also included the tragedy of the death of Andy Caldecot and others before him, a very serious and dangerous race!

In my opinion, Big Earth produced an excellent film series. I regard Charlie very highly for what he set out to do in promoting the Dakar in this film, he openly admits that his acting profession is really non existant. I've never got the opportunity of letting Charlie know how much I respected his achievement in the Dakar even though I met him briefly again last Sunday at the NEC bike show.

I watched last night. Fantastic series, more for the insight into the race than anything. Can't wait for the next one. I got the impression after seeing him at SBW that he'll be entering the 07 DAKAR. I hope so, and good luck to hm.
