YOGESH HAD NO TROUBLE IN CHINA OR RUSSIA - ONLY TO COME TO GRIEF AT WOLLATON

Around-world trip is stopped in its tracks by park thieves

A GLOBETROTTER from India is “depressed” after his bike was stolen in Nottingham 15,000 miles into his journey.

Yogesh Alekari set off from Mumbai in May on a motorcycle challenge across the world. He has already travelled through China, Russia, Estonia and Germany.

The 33-year-old was in Nottingham for a biker event on Thursday on the English leg of his epic trip when his motorcycle was stolen.

Mr Alekari parked the KTM 390 Adventure motorbike at Wollaton Park at around 11am, and returned to within the hour, but it was gone.

Most of his belongings were on the bike, meaning he’s been left stranded and unable to continue his adventure.

The travel blogger, who has an online audience of almost 200,000, was documenting his journey online.
