What an amazing story! This chaps dad cycled to Australia 40 years ago so naturally the right thing to do is recreate it. He even found the same model of bike to do it on!

Yeah, just saw that on breakfast news. Great story. Did really well getting photos in same locations. His father must have made a good record of where his photos were taken. No gps data to go on.

In the news world of general grimness and non celebrities it was a pleasant surprise to 1/2 hear this story on BBC breakfast this morning. I say only half as my family decided to start a conversation during the piece.
