Curse of cabin fever

I suffered from a touch of cabin fever during lockdown. I’d ordered a new Triumph Tiger 1200 Desert Edition and three days later the dealership went into hibernation.

Idly scrolling around biking related videos on YouTube, I came across a channel called Itchy Boots.

A video travelogue made by a young Dutch woman by the name of Noraly and her Royal Enfield Himalayan. She buys the bike new in Delhi, India, and proceeds to ride solo across India and Indonesia, south east Asia and all the countries en-route back to Holland.

She has certainly inspired me to tackle a lot more than the occasional commute with an odd trip to Brands Hatch on my new Tiger 1200 (which has now arrived. Hooray!). Clive Aldridge, Essex
