page was setup to to record the progress of Mick Banks (56) and
Helen Bailey
(42) as they cycled from Rochford, Essex in the UK to Dunedin, New
Zealand (and
a bit more!)
They had a leaving party on 17th July 1999 - to show off their
'wheels',
a couple of rather smart Dawes tourers - and finally departed on 9th
August
1999. They arrived back in the UK in February 2001. See their account of the journey
- country-by-country. |
