Two Brit Dakar riders are off to Tibet in November in an attempt to break the record of highest altitude on a motorcycle.
Tamsin Jones will be seeking to break fellow Dakar competitor Annie Seels record of 5305m set in 2003 whilst Craig Bounds will be setting his sights on 6005m reached by Japanese rider Shinji Kazama. Both attempts will take place on the northern slopes of Mount Everest.
The duration of the expedition is two weeks and will start on Nov 10th from Kathmandu, Nepal, then head to Tibet where the ride to Everest base camp (5200m) will begin. The ultimate objective is to reach the Advanced Base Camp at 6400m.
