Calums Road RaasayCalums Road Raasay
• For 20 years, Calum MacLeod toiled alone to build a road to his croft on the island of Raasay, near Skye in Western Scotland.
He began the arduous job in the 1960s after failing to win public funds for an upgrade. His exploits featured in the press, on radio, television, and in the best-selling 2006 book Calum’s Road by Roger Hutchison.

The PlanThe Plan
• 20 riders and 20 motorbikes.
• 8th January 2010 - Setting off from Calum’s Road on Raasay and riding through Scotland, England, France, Spain, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania and Senegal and arriving four weeks later at the site of Calum's Road in The Gambia.
• Ship the bikes back to the UK in a container and fly ourselves back.
• Much detail and paperwork still to be done.

• Because it will be exciting, challenging and great fun!
