Not me, but some bloke's setting off today from london to 'have a pop' at it.

Anyone got any info/websites about it?

This is the one.

I think we (as a forum) ought to adopt him and cheer him on via his blog.

Bump.

He's getting along quite well, into Ukraine now.

I think he's about level, doing 100 miles per day so far, maybe slightly in front.

He's hovering around the 100miles/day level. I think Mark Beaumont averaged 94 a day at the end

I reckon so. Both he and Beaumont have said the first month is the hardest. But after that, one's body has become accustomed to the pain/pleasure of 100 mile days

Well, 14 days and he's done UK, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Poland, Ukraine, and he's just entering Romania. 1458 miles as of this minute.
