Ténéré Spirit
Kap2Cap
2020 Edition
Kap2Cap was a somewhat crazy project dreamed up by Laurent Cochet. The plan was to travel aboard the Yamaha Ténéré 700 from the North Cape (NordKapp) in Norway, the northernmost point in Europe, all the way to the Cape of Good Hope at the southernmost tip of South Africa, in aid of the charity Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque. Joined by Amaury Baratin, the dynamic duo crossed 24 countries in just two months, taking time out during the trip to meet children who'd been treated by Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque.
