Pezzz's Nevermind Adventures "Himalayan Rumble"
« on: June 15, 2016, 11:58:02 AM »
Hey everyone,
I thought I would start this RR before going to drop in the spot and spotwalla links.
For those that don't know, I decided to take Nevermind Adventures up on the generous offer that they made after the Perth National Rally and will be spending most of the next 3 weeks travelling through the Himalayas on a Royal Enfield  :runyay

The team at Nevermind have been absolutely awesome to deal with and so far I would highly recommend them (as I have to everyone I speak to).
I have borrowed Yorkie's Drift Ghost HD so hope to have some excellent video footage as well as having another camera and phone with me which should get me some great pics. Thank you Yorkie for the loan of the Drift  :thumbs
Wombat has been kind enough to loan me his SPOT device and we have done a few test runs and I think I have it all nutted out now ( so long as I remember to press the track button  >:() )....  Thank you Wombat for the SPOT and the other little bits and pieces of help.

Links:
I have started the tracking a couple of days early to make sure that SPOT links to spotwalla so the first bits will just be me floating around Perth. Things should get interesting around 10:30pm tomorrow Perth time when I am due to arrive in Delhi.

Spotwalla Link (hopefully this will work – Always hit and miss with SPOT)
https://spotwalla.com/tripViewer.php?id=10e475747f3f058f21

Findme Spot – Direct spot link – just not as pretty as spotwalla but should work fine.

Proposed route – subject to change depending on roads and conditions.

Anyway, all things going well I should be back in contact in about 3 weeks or so.
Have fun everyone and stay safe  :hatwave :hatwave :hatwave

Pezz,

unfortunately I was not at the nat rally but I had a good look at the website for the blokes you are going with.

I am really interested for a warts and all review of these guys because this is definitely something I would consider doing.

Keep the posts and photos coming when and where you can and also give us all a run down on the shitty things as well as the fantasmorical things.

 :thumbsup :thumbs :thumbs :thumbsup

That's a pretty impressive Spot track.  Makes our little forays around Oz look minuscule!     :grin       :thumbs
