£1 a day tour

[smith4188]

Well, folks, on Thursday three of us reached Gibraltar on the Ride and Seek 2015 £1 a day tour. It was in turn fun, tiring, exhilarating, boring, infuriating and amazing. We foraged big and shopped small. It took 66 days (32 less than planned but we changed the route a bit and went further each day). Did we do it by the Live Below The Line's rules? For that you'll have to wait for the book. But at least I've learnt one thing: No matter how poor I am in future, I'll be able to tour, because touring is (or at least can be) cheaper than staying at home. Now, I'd better cycle home again. Thanks to everyone who followed us on Facebook!

Well done yourself. But I'm in La Linea, next door to Gib. It's half the price.

Well done, fantastic achievement on that budget. I probably spent more in a day than you did in a month!

I am intrigued to know how you got enough carbs on this tour to sustain you.

You'll have to buy the book to find out, but I'm sure it will involve flat badgers, night time raids of potato fields and like all good books lots of bonking by chapter three (caused by lack of carbs of course)

I've just finished his other book, about a three summer ride around all (except one) of the European capitals. Worth getting.
