SHOW NOTES

Neil Lawson's gap year in ‪1985-86‬ was looking uncertain when most of his school friends had flown to Austraila to party and explore. Not one to follow the crowd, Neil and Tim hatched a plan to Hitchhike the Sahara Dessert from Tetouan in morrorco to Cotonou

in Benin .

At just 18 years old a serious undertaking and adventure.

30 years on after returning from a bike ride clad in lycra his son now approaching 18 himself accused him of being a mammal [middle aged man dress in lycra].

To counter this and prove age has no boundaries to where and how you can adventure, he chose the Gobi dessert in Mongolia to cycle in, and just to make it outstanding they dressed as a gentleman in tweed.

To round off the adventure adventure, Neil met up with Tim in Shanghai whom he had not seen since they hitched across the Sahara some 30 years earlier.
