About the Route
After settling on the idea to motorcycle
around the world the next step was for me to work out what sort of
route I might take. I started by making a list of places that I
definitely didn't want to miss and then tried to join them up with a
continuous line. The list was quite short yet broad and was based more
on gut instinct than research and practicality. It included: Italy,
Africa, the Himalaya and Japan and didn't really seem to tie together
all that well. Aside from the places that I wanted to visit there
were other factors that dictated where I could and couldn't go;
international and civil war, bureaucracy, impassable terrain and
perhaps places that you just think "I don't really wana be there" e.g.
Wolverhampton. The local climate was also a consideration though not
really one I paid much attention to.
Thanks....

his ClusterManager tool for google maps.
