Lassi Come Home

To all the folks who have donated to the Frank Water charity we can only say thank you very much. We have well and truly exceeded the target of 1000 pounds and as of writing this, we were over the 1500 pound mark. You make a living by what you get. You make a life […]

Hopefully we will be in situations like this – can we avoid major roads – and take some back roads through national parks – like this: And end up at a hotel like this hotel. Somehow I think we may look back at this post and laugh…

Last minute purchases: Shoes – the water proof kind (Gortex) Medical supplies – the usual – Imodium; electrolytes; panadol, etc Travel Towel Water proof jacket Water proof duffel bag and plenty of other necessities… What have I forgotten? Help us out – if you have ever undertaken a similar trip, or think of something you […]

Another article in the press – this time the Mosman Daily – one of the Heavy Hitters of Investigative Journalism in the country!

We leave Sydney in 10 days – Saturday 4th September – 1 night in Kolkata, then 3 nights in Darjeeling, before 3 nights in Gangtok before the Run starts. All becoming very real now. Good news is we are over 25% of our target charity fund raising – hopefully many of the ‘I plan to […]

OK, we both passed the MOST motorcycle test on Wednesday 18th so yay, we now have our category A International Drivers Licence.This is a pre requisite for riding the rickshaw but more importantly, ticks the box for travel insurance. Only thing left now is to pack the bags. Given we spent time on learners permits […]

We now have a page called “The Honour Roll”. This is where we recognise those who have sponsored us or helped us out in some way. We don’t publish $ amounts – because the size of the donation is irrelevant. Remember just $1 can provide clean drinking water to a person in need for up […]
