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. According to the Sun Doug said: "Heath came up with the idea. Amazingly, I agreed to accompany him. We'd known each other less than two weeks. I felt like James Bond at times." 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.
