Current location: Arrived WARSAW on 25th August, exactly 4 weeks on

Approx distance covered: 2180 km

What's this all about?

I'm Ben Hambidge. I live in Bristol, UK, and am currently cycling across Europe... partly for the sheer challenge of it, but also to raise money for WaterAid. I set off on 28th July 2010, and hope to reach Warsaw before the  end of August.

I'm not a hard-core cyclist - in fact I'm not even a soft-core one. Fairest of weather and the flattest of terrains has been a prerequisite up till now, and rarely for more than a local ride. Apart from tacklling Bristol to London last year, I've never done more than a day trip.

The journey will be about 2,000 km long. I expect to take it at variable pace, covering a good distance on some days, and enjoying the local attractions on others. Read my blog to stay up to date!

Follow the links on the left... but first bookmark this page - it will be updated as the trip goes along.
