JOGLE ride report
"TWO friends from Petersfield have returned home safely after the ride of a
lifetime. Former The Petersfield School pupils Danny Cameron (20), of Broom Road, and Doug Harwood (20), of Holt Down, cycled the length of Britain from John O'Groats to Lands End in less than a fortnight. The duo pedalled for 75 miles each day, wearing heavy back packs and without any support vehicle.Danny, who works at Tesco on The Causeway, said: "We just basically ate, cycled and slept. "We brought a two-man tent with us and just pitched it on the side of roads, or wherever."We asked pubs if we could stay in their pub gardens, otherwise it was farmers' fields, or on the grass verge in service stations." Doug, a student at the University of Hertfordshire, added: "Washing was basically done with baby wipes - it gets to a point where showering is a bit of a waste of time if you get up and are straight on the bike again. http://www.petersfieldpost.co.uk/new...time_1_2938655 -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/ |
