With the tour date coming closer the biggest factor working against is is funding our adventure. We realised that this is never going to happen without some proper financial planning. The wheels were set in motion, savings accounts opened and we're saving and holding each other accountable to achieve our targets for August 2009 to fund our European adventure.
We're starting out much smaller and doing a local trip round Ireland, we undertook several weekend outings and I've done a couple of cross country trips on the bike for work to get motorcycle fit and to test the touring gear.
I need to work on the luggage and waterproofing, the boots are doing fairly ok, the GPS is good, but useless when it's pouring down as I can not see it well enough to follow directions. Sound is a big problem with a helmet and stick in headphones is a waste of time, they fall out and wind noise is a big problem.
