The first part of my three month cycle from Bristol in the UK, to Istanbul in Turkey, last summer. The journey took me through 13 countries and across a continent.
I took the £200 bike I used to cycle to school on, bought some panniers, a beeline bike computer, borrowed my dad’s old camelback, and booked a ferry to France, then set off, with no real plan aside from the fact I had to be at my Friend’s house in Greece before the 19th of August. I filmed it all on my phone, so sorry It’s vertical!
