This is my story since I left my home in England by bicycle in June 2007. Since then, cycling has played a supporting role to discovery, heartache, friendships, romance, confusion, bureaucracy, disaster and adventure.
I’m at my parents’ house in Middleton, England, after 16 days’ overland travel from Tehran to surprise them and make their Christmas a bit less lonely. Tenny’s here as well!
I’ll be heading back to my bike in January for a fresh start, a new direction and a whole heap of challenges on the horizon.

As you might have guessed from the title of this post, Tenny and I caused something of a stir when we turned up unannounced at my parents’ front door last Sunday night! Read More
Help Us To Help The Wilderness Foundation
The Wilderness Foundation aims to help preserve the world's last remaining wild areas through social advocacy. While travelling, we pass through wild areas of incredible beauty, but sadly these sane areas are often victims of environmental atrocity, so we want to help The Wilderness Foundation to spread the message of the importance of preserving our natural environment.
A small organization with big ambitions, we hope to make a real difference to The Wilderness Foundation's work by reaching our fundraising target of 10,000 GBP. Their work includes:
- Global Wilderness Trails programmes, which build leadership skills and create environmental responsibility;
- Highlighting the value of wilderness through Social Programmes which provide opportunities for reform, personal development and the reconciliation of fractured communities; and
- Taking action to preserve wilderness areas under threat, through community-based projects, advocacy and education.
You can quickly and easily make a contribution by visiting our online fundraising page at Justgiving.com. We'll really appreciate your contribution, however small.
