Ed Pratt is first person to unicycle around the world as he passesfinishing line in Somerset
Ed Pratt has raised more than £300,000 for a charity that delivers
educational equipment to poor and vulnerable children. A British man is celebrating after becoming the first person to unicycle around the world. Ed Pratt left Curry Rivel, near Taunton, Somerset, in March 2015 to embark on a 21,000-mile one-wheeled adventure when he was 19. Carrying nothing more than a tent, sleeping bag, camping stove and kit in panniers attached to his 36-inch Nimbus Oracle unicycle, he completed the challenge without any support. His journey involved unicycling through Europe, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan before travelling across China and through South East Asia to Singapore. He then took on Australia and New Zealand and then on to the US, and finally flew from New York to Edinburgh to begin the final 500 miles home to Somerset. https://news.sky.com/story/ed-pratt-...erset-11451320 -- Bod |

Indeed and £300,000 will help a lot of those vulnerable children. -- Bod |
