Rob Luxton’s adventure on a three wheeled recumbent tricycle will take him 25,000km all around China, passing through every province on the mainland.
The expedition will help raise awareness and money for two Charities. Sowers Action and Care For Children. Both dedicated to improving the lives of children in poor areas throughout China.
Beginning near Hong Kong the journey is estimated to last two and half years taking him from busy cities to remote mountain villages, deserts to great plains, deep lush valleys to the the scary heights of the Tibetan plateau and finally into the jungles of the South, before returning to Hong Kong in August 2010.
UPDATE:
Rob is currently in Hong Kong and was all set for the next big push. Unfortunately, due to the Beijing Olympics, new visa restrictions have been put in place. All visa’s now have a maximum stay period of only 30 days. It is impossible for him to continue with this kind of restriction. It would mean flying back to Hong Kong every 20 days to get a new one.
He has no choice but to wait until the restrictions are lifted. This is supposed to be in September / October…… thats when the fierce winter begins, so the journey looks like it is on hold until March 2009.
Any changes will be posted on here. In the meantime, have a read through some of the old entries or watch the video to get a better idea of whats been going on.
