Challenge completed

Well, that was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but the most rewarding.

I couldn't have asked for kinder weather and the bike was fantastic.

I arrived back in Liverpool yesterday after completing 5436 miles on road and a few more by sea, lake or puddle.

I will put a video together on the web site shortly.


I would like to say a massive thanks for all the donations and help along the way including Radio Merseyside with Sean Styles for helping raise awareness. We have raised up to now over £5400 ..

Thank you

Weather changing

It had to happen, the weather has gone nuts.

I have only endured one day of this and everthing is soaked,  If the weather had been like this from day 1 then the outcome could and would have been different.

I cannot wait to share the photos with  you as the sights are simply amazing.

Im concerned about my rear tyre as it is becoming balder than me, but the bike has performed brilliantly up to now.

Im also concerned about my rear as it is resembling the Japanese flag.....

Done it

Finally got there, the most amazing ride to Nordkapp, weather
was amazing, however, the wind at the top was incredible, the wind nearly blew my bike over whilst it was parked up.

I will post some photos asap.

Now to head south down the west coast of Norway.

Weh hey..

Nearly there

Day 5, apologies for lack of blogs but my phones rubbish for blogging!

Well, I am 210 miles from Nordkapp, the weather could not have been any better. The roads could not be any better.

The only negative if there is one are the police and speeding fines, but up to now no fines.

I have been bashing out on average 400 miles a day. Riding from 0900hrs to 1900hrs.

Im abit  sore but only what to be expected.

So, hopefully tomorrow I will arrive at Nordkapp.

Thank you if you have donated and your support makes the miles go by ..

Hopefully get some pics up soon...

1 week to go.

Well, time is nearly here.

The feel of anticipation and excitement is building, I plan to set off at 1300hrs from the Liver Buildings on Friday 15th July, heading for the ferry at Hull.

There is an in depth break down of my anticipated progress posted on the web site under the challenges tab.

Up to now we have already raised a further £130.00 towards the £5027 already donated. Thank you so much.

4 weeks to go.

4 weeks to go and the reality of what i am about to take is becoming very real and I can honestly say this is going to be a hard one.

The backs good and all planning a fees have been paid. Training is underway (better late than never)

6000 miles in two weeks, I find tarmac very boring and thats the side of it I am not looking forward to and there is going to be plenty of it.

I leave on the 15th july from the liverbirds

Nothing much to post, I am slipping back into the rat race of work and more work. I can not wait to take on another challenge soon, July can not come fast enough.

In the mean time, believe it or not the Channel Challenge may well raise its head again. fingers crossed, as we have been waiting for over two years for it to happen !!!

So its work and training for the next challenge for the next few months then the ARCTIC CHALLENGE...
