ARE WE NEARLY THERE YET?
Having already survived many climbing and paragliding adventures in India and Nepal, it's now time to try something much more off the wall, whilst giving something back in the process.
<p>
Five years experience of mending dripping taps in our house in a Narniaesque corner of France will of course give me the necessary skills to keep our rickshaw in sleek, peak racing performance.
I've never been to India or Nepal before but Bob Drury of the team Jaldi Wallas has assured me that I will be in perfect comfort cruising down the motor ways in the air conditioned comfort of our Rickshaw GTI (grand tour of India), reading my Hello magazine.
<p>
I just think it will be an amazing adventure, I think crossing the line in Kathmandu will be just such an incredible achievement, as apparently rickshaws are banned in Kathmandu.
<p>
And I am really looking forward to letting down the Jaldi Wallas tyres.
