The Noble Motor Bike Quest
Adventure and Travel - many of you will know that the Noble Foundation is very close to my heart www.noble-foundation.com.
One of the ways that we spread the word about the foundation is by running a Noble Quest every year www.noble-quest.com.
We have two different types or walking expedition and a motorbike expedition. I myself lead the motorbike expedition. In the last few years we've been to Morocco, we've been through Eastern Europe to Ukraine and Romania, and this year we are planning to go around the Black Sea.
The plan is as follows :-
Starting in Romania ( we have a cunning plan to get all the motorbikes there - we are hoping to be able to have the motorbikes transported there by truck. So we can just fly in using low-cost carriers. )
we will take approximately 2 1/2 weeks going south into Bulgaria through Turkey then into Armenia, Georgia up into the Ukraine spend a bit of time in the Crimea then into Moldova then back to Romania. Then we fly home.
This adventure will be open to anyone at all who would like to join us. You can either come for the whole trip or just part. Although we don't have an exact date yet we are now just beginning to look at logistics etc it will probably be in October 2011
On the Motorbike Quest the criteria are that :-
- A group of like-minded people go away together
- We raise the profile of the Noble Foundation
- We have an adventure
- We do it in an exciting or different location
- We keep the costs down to an absolute minimum ( by staying in low-cost accommodation or camping)
- We have a really good time
- We get to know each other very well and we build strong friendships
- We get a really good feel and understanding of the country or countries we go to

Previous Motorbike Quest
Quest 2010
The Noble Quest is divided into two completely separate quests the normal Walking Expedition and the Motorbike Quest.
The Motorbike Quest takes place once a year. The next one will be in April/May 2010 it will be for 15 days ( don't have the exact dates yet)
Although no fixed itinerary has been agreed on yet it has been suggested that we leave from the UK and
go towards Krakow in southern Poland via the Czech Republic, then drop down through Slovakia and Hungary and Romania and return via Serbia, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia and Austria. In total it will be less than 3000 miles.
Therefore if we do approximately 200 miles a day (very easy to do)
that means we can leave each morning at about 9:30 AM and get to our next intended destination about 2:30 PM having had time to stop for coffees etc along the way.
That gives us time to then explore each new location we arrive at and find appropriate accommodation without being rushed.
We will tend not to use the main motorways but rather stick to the more scenic roads
Although we will be leaving from the south of England people can join us at any point along the route.

In November 2008 three Intrepid travellers took part on the first Noble Motorbike Quest.
They went down through Spain and spend three weeks exploring Morocco and covered a total of 3500 miles.
The adventurers were
Gerard O'Donovan
George Metcalfe
Gordon Dove
They expected to have three weeks of sun and sea and sand.
What they got was three weeks of snow, hail, blizzard, rain and the most freezing conditions that Morocco had experienced 42 years
Here are some photographs from the trip:
