About Me

My photo
Qldelsie
In May 2012 I became the first person to drive a Lotus Elise sports car across the Arctic Circle in Alaska, driving up the Ice Truckers Highway. I enjoyed Alaska so much, I have decided I have to go back in a vehicle that will allow me to explore more, so in 2014 I am setting off again, this time in a 4 WD Toyota Troop Carrier Camper. And while I am there, I think I will drive down to Ushuaia, through Central and South America. As Bilbo Baggins the Hobbit said as he set off on his trip "I'm going on an Adventure".......... Little did he know what an Adventure lay ahead !!
