A couple in their 60s has travelled 12,000 miles across 16
countries from Britain to China — riding their bikes the entire way.
Grandparents Peter and Chris stepped on the long journey after deciding to "do
something a bit different". They travelled across cities, deserts,
mountains and everything in between across Europe, the Middle East and the East
Asia. The married couple of 37 years enjoyed themselves with delicious local
food and spent most nights inside a tiny tent put up wherever they could find
shelter.
Peter, 66, said the moment they finally had a look at the
famous Great Wall after a year and a half of cycling 30 miles a day was "really
exciting". At the end of their journey, the special pair didn't fly home
but instead choose to book a cabin inside a 400m-Iong container ship. The final
part was a three-week voyage from Singapore across the Indian Ocean and into
the Mediterranean Sea before arriving at Southampton.
"You never know what the day is going to bring. All
you know is that you are going to get on your bike and cycle. Every day is an
adventure and every day is new. Overall, the experience is absolutely
unbelievable, " Peter said.
Peter and Chris initially set out to cycle from Britain in
January 2017 but were forced home. They had cycled all the way to Hungary when
Peter slipped on tiles and broke his leg. After even nonths of recovery, the
couple set out again in Britain. They finally arrived in China in November
2018.
3th Peter and Chris agreed that the best part of the entire
trip was coming across the kinhood of strangers along the way, many of whom
invited the couple for food and drink. Chris, 64, said "It was a wonderful
experience, particularly wonderful because of the amazing people we met along
the way. "
