Danny John - Jules, star of the TV show 'Red Dwarf', and his team mate Graham Hoskins undertake the challenge of a lifetime, departing from the Ally Pally Show at Noon on Saturday 27th Feb in aid of BBC TV's 'Sport Relief' charity, motorbiking nearly 7,000 miles to circumnavigate the Mediterranean Sea in just 15 days. Graham and Danny will travel through three continents, riding across fourteen diverse, scenic and often chaotic countries as they cross from Europe over the Bosphorus into Asia, through the Middle East and round into North Africa. It's an endurance challenge and not for the faint-hearted!

To finish the Iron Butts Challenge, Danny and Graham will have to work together to overcome whatever trials face them. From bad navigation and getting lost, to flat tyres, mad and bad local drivers, mechanical failure, visa and border issues, running out of fuel and cultural differences. www.ironbutts.co.uk and www.virginmoneygiving.com/ironbutts
