It's a little over 24 hours until our journey begins. Hawk and I have been living in the region for awhile and made a few trips together. A while back we started exploring the idea of having a trip that mixed a few tourist highlights, some off the beaten track exploring and the opportunity to take some wonderful photographs.
After tossing around a few ideas we eventually hit upon riding bicycles up through Thailand, Laos and Cambodia. It's close to home and we can explore more of the interesting places in the neighbourhood. We checked the web, found a couple of interesting websites, then bought a few maps and set about planning our trip.
Hawk and I bought a couple of suitable bikes and started decking them out ready for the trip. And now the time is upon us to make a start. I will be using this trip as an opportunity to get back writing and to develop as a photographer. While Hawk is looking at creating a guide for anyone interested in doing something similar. Hopefully between the two of us we can create something interesting. Check out the gear and the outline for the trip, plus updates on hawks site as well at http://www.thenarrowshoulder.blogspot.com/
For me this trip is a big change from the last two major trips which have been to India - Solo.
