Friends trek 6,000 miles on horseback in their tuxedos

Two adventurers have successfully completed a charity trek from Hong Kong to London on horseback - wearing tuxedos.

Briton Heath Buck and American Doug Campbell came up with the idea after they met in a Hong Kong bar.



They saw 19 countries on their four-month, 6,000-mile trip.

They travelled through remote regions of China, Vietnam, Tibet, Nepal, India, Pakistan and Kazakhstan, then across Europe.



Their tuxedos were specially made from resilient fabrics in Bangkok, Thailand.

The money they raised along the way went on local causes - including helping rescued sex slaves in Nepal.

Their website, The Tuxedo Travels, has lots more information, including several videos and a huge number of photos.
