In the absence of roads the trail bikes are the best way for medical staff to travel to patients across vast areas. They make a real difference to the lives of tens of thousands of people. Jeremy and his friends have raised enough to buy three motorbikes and keep them on the 'road' for three years. Now they have to delivered them, to some needy causes.

Was he worried? "To be honest, I had a few second thoughts about the trip," he says. "But I knew it would be a life-changing experience and the cause is absolutely worthwhile." In total, this year's event should produce around 140 motorbikes.

So that's a 'yes' then.

Jeremy's was away from 29th October to 5th November. Find out more about the trip at www.riders.org and www.enduroafrica.com
