About the Sausage King Adventures
I started www.sausagefans.com as a joke in about 2000. The website became popular after being covered extensively on the TV, radio and in various national and local newspapers. What started as a joke is now a resource which gets several million hits a year.
In about 2003 or so the press began to refer to me as The Sausage King which I thought was a fantastic nickname and I am delighted it has stuck. Watching The Long Way Down a couple of years ago I was frustrated that Ewan and Charlie didn't stop in more places to take in more of the countries they were riding through but I was inspired to make a motorbike powered trip of my own around the UK.
At a time when UK pig farmers are struggling in the face of cheaper and inferior imports I am doing my bit to raise the profile of the UK sausage and encourage people to buy local. The Sausage King Adventures are a series of motorbike trips around the UK to a variety of sausage makers who have been recommended to me. I hope to find the best of British!

Bike
Practice ride Tom (my brother in law) and I are planning a ride to the four corners of the UK from Lowestoft to John O’Groats to Land’s End and then Lizzard Point. Originally the plan was to just ride from John O’Groats to Land’s End but we’ve developed it since.
