James and Tim's World Tour 2012: Thursday, 8th March (Archive)

Tim agreed to bring The Motorcycle Diaries with him on Mothers’ Day.

What's this all about then, Grayboy?

Several years ago James Gray (34) and his brother Tim (31) were sent to prison by a military court for a crime they did not commit. Once they escaped, they decided they should travel the world to celebrate their freedom and fulfil a lifelong ambition.

At first it was going to be a 12 month trip, then 9 months, then 8, then 7, and now it's definitely going to be 6 and a bit. The plan is to circumnavigate the globe in an anti-clockwise direction via planes, trains, automobiles and whatever else can get them from A to B, possibly via Z if the roads are a bit dodgy.

It makes sense to do this now while they are free from family responsibilities, have the odd few coppers saved up, are still reasonably young, yet with a bit more streetwise swagger than they would have had a decade ago (so they claim!) Doesn't mean it can't all go wrong...but isn't that all part of the fun?

Here be the flight sked-jewel:

13th June - Manchester to New York

31st July - Los Angeles to Auckland

28th August - Christchurch to Cairns

25th September - Melbourne to Singapore

20th December - Mumbai to Manchester

Bon Voyage, Gray Boys!
