Will was lucky enough to spend the last 6 weeks back in India, doing a bit of travel. He was able to round his trip out with a few days in Panipat, the new home of the rescue dogs, Chai and Chapatti! Happy to report that they are all grown up, happy and healthy. They have acres of land to play on and a few furry friends to hang out with. It's great to see the fruits of their labour and to know that these dogs, through compassion and the kindness of strangers, have grown up into beautiful, healthy dogs!

Thanks India. You punched us, kicked us, threw us to the ground and kicked dirt in our faces. Then you picked us up, dusted us off and took us in your arms and opened your people and country to us. It's been a wild 6 month ride with amazing highs and grit testing lows. Will and Tom are on a plane and heading home at long last. Expect to see them roaming the streets no later than tomorrow morning!

While most of you celebrated St. Patrick's day, Will and Tom got amongst the colour festival, known as Golal, part of the Holi celebrations which ring in the harvest season. Needless to say, it'll take them a while to get clean after this party!

Tom managed to find time between travelling on a three wheeled glorified lawnmower from North to South of India to write a blog entry!

"Like a river running to the ocean, give unconditionally, without discrimination, and without expectation to everything and everyone that you pass."

I’ve been described as an emotional robot - I’m extremely analytical. Ask any of my previous girlfriends, (but don’t really). I use lists within lists to create complex formulas for most of my deci...

Here's Will's latest blog post. Please enjoy and get some perspective! Lots of love from the team :)

The cat's pretty much out of the bag. Tom and I took a 2 month break from filming, to re-group and re-inspire ourselves, over the christmas period. I'm known by my friends and family to be fairly r...

Meet Roxanne the rickshaw! She'll be replacing the bikes as our new means of transport for the rest of the adventure. The temperamental old girl has already shown her intentions, breaking down twice on the first day. Although not as carbon efficient as hitchhiking or public transport, the guys large amount of film gear and requirements to travel to quirky locations meant they needed a cheap means of public transport. Still within the means of cultural and economic sustainability, this iconic Asian three-wheeler will require the boys to double their efforts in offsetting their emissions!
