When Chris Donaldson left Belfast in 1979, his original plan was to ride to Australia, on his Moto Guzzi Le Mans bike. He never made it "down under" and ended up in Argentina nearly 2 years later.
He travelled through the Middle East, rode across the Sahara Desert and down to Cape Town, where he hitched a ride on a yacht race back to Europe. He then went to the USA and rode from Canada south through Central America and South America to Buenos Aires.
He recently published a book called 'Going the Wrong Way,' which is an Amazon best-seller.
He decided to finally complete the journey this year, 44 years after his return from South America and take the very same Moto Guzzi to Australia.
Crazy stuff but what a great achievement in life
