Iron Butt Challenge
Red Dwarf star Danny John-Jules and his team mate Graham Hoskins undertake the challenge of a lifetime, motor-biking nearly 7000 miles to circumnavigate the Mediterranean Sea in just 15 days. Graham and Danny will travel through 3 continents, riding across 14 diverse, scenic and often chaotic Mediterranean countries as they cross from Europe over the Bosphorus into Asia, through the Middle East and round into North Africa. It's an endurance challenge and not for the faint hearted!
To finish the Iron Butts Challenge, Danny and Graham will have to work together to overcome whatever trials face them. From bad navigation and getting lost, to flat tyres, mad and bad local drivers, mechanical failure, visa and border issues, running out of fuel and cultural differences.Why Do This?
The team's main aim is to raise money for Sport Relief and secondly to promote the joys of safe adventure motor-biking for everyone.
Graham has a history of undertaking charity motorbike rides - most recently motor-biking endurance challenges such as riding 4000 miles to Moscow and back in 6 days for BBC Children in Need in 2005. Danny is coming because Graham asked him to come support this great cause!
