The best bit of the trip was arriving in Wales and seeing Mount Snowdon. 'Although I met
cyclists who could easily ride up mountains on their bikes, which I couldn't do, I never

His worst moment came when he had to drink some dirty water from a stream. A serious
fever kept him in bed in hospital for five long days. He was determined not to give up and
go back home before he had completed his challenge, but found it hard to carry on be-

something similar again.'
