1. Why are you doing it?
- Because i
want to.
2. How are you going to get across the sea?
- Don't ask silly
questions. I'll catch a ferry from Dover to Calais, and it's all
overland from there. I did toy with the idea of making the channel
crossing by canoe, but I'll probably save that for another time
3. How far is it?
- To be quite honest,
I'm not sure. I'll keep a log of how far I travel and other statistics
for each day on The
Boring Statistics Page.
4. How long will it take you?
- I'm allowing myself
twelve months to complete the trip. I could probably do it in a much
shorter time, but i want to spend some time exploing ruins in Turkey
and Egypt.
5. Won't it be dangerous?
- Possibly, possibly
not. How do you define danger? Will I be eaten by lions? Unlikely, in
fact i'll probably be lucky to see one (memories of my tigerless Safari
in India come to mind!!) Will i be robbed? Who can tell? You can get
mugged or have your house robbed without travelling out of the country
of your birth. I do expect kids in Sudan and Ethiopia to throw stones
at me however, as every cyclists travelogue I've ever read seems to
mention it !! I will wear my cycle helmet for that section!!
6. Are you doing it for charity?
- No I'm not. Why not??
None of your business.
7. Are you mad?
- There is a strong
possibility.
