Africa to the Arctic on £250 125cc scooters
Великобритания
Добавлен 31 окт 2022
in February 2023 we rode our £250 scooters from North Wales through Wales, England, France, Andora to Spain on a 2,015 mile (2,224 km's) road trip. We had such a good time we have decided to leave from Malaga airport where the scooters have been since February and take them to Morocco in North Africa, head east for a while and then head north for Nordkapp in northern Noway which is in the Arctic. If we took the direct route it would be 3,446 miles (5,514 km's) but we are not taking the direct route, in fact we don't have much of plan. We will spend about a 7-10 days every six months doing this trip. we are hoping to find free places to leave the scooters between each leg of the journey.
Thanks for watching,

Not an epic day, but the end of leg two of Africa to the Arctic, we’ve traveled 2,210 miles on this adventure so far and we expect it to be another 3,000 to 3,500 miles to get us up to Nord Capp in Norway.
We’ll be back to Geneva airport to continue in the autumn.

Day 13 of this trip. Last night we did oil changes on the scooters before a 7am start heading North East past Montpellier towards Mount Ventoux, we covered 212 miles of a not particularly interesting part of France, that’s why we put the miles in today so we can have big smiles in the mountain tomorrow.
