    Thumbs up Documentary on TV1 (Mon 30 June)

    A doco on TV1 @ 9:30

    It's about an american(Glen Heggstad) who travels by bike thru South America only to get kidnapped in Colombia.

    I've read the book and is an amazing story & think the doco will be worth a look.

    Book is called, Two Wheels Through Terror (Diary of a South American Motorcycle Odyssey)

    Yea, I'm going to be watching it as well.
