Meanwhile matters have turned serious in the high-pressure world of EnduroGP. And Andy Dukes has indeed done a runner. Perhaps Chris Evans has it right – sell the bikes.

I MAKE THE RULES<br />

i<br />

ShoUlD hAve been writing this piece from a quiet, sandy beach<br />

on Sumbawa island, where I recently enjoyed a few days in the<br />

company of a fantastic bunch of overlanders participating in the<br />

inaugural horizons Unlimited Indonesia World Travellers’ meeting.<br />

But guess what? I’m actually back home in the UK, enjoying balmy<br />

weather, warm beer and family time.<br />

Why? The truth is that I missed my family terribly and I got a lot of<br />

response to a blog post I wrote about homesickness. Most people said<br />

that I’d get through it and that it would become easier over time but<br />

one smart lady got in touch to remind me that it was my trip and as<br />

such, I could make the rules. If my family couldn’t come out and see<br />

me as originally planned, then why not park the bike, jump on a<br />

plane and visit them instead? So that’s exactly what I did and it<br />

was absolutely the right decision. Now my batteries are recharged<br />

and I’m thinking about ‘the road’ again with fully-renewed vigour.
