Adventurer Jamie Hargreaves, is eight months into an incredible journey cycling from Derby, England to Derby, Australia. What makes this cycle tour extra special is Jamie is retracing the very route his father took 40 years ago – visiting the same places photographing the same landscapes along the way.
Facing physical challenges, visa issues, and environmental extremes, Jamie’s adventure spans multiple countries. He’s so far crossed through Europe, Türkiye, Central Asia, Russia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
Jamie shares his experiences so far, the highs and lows of his trip, from challenging days in harsh weather, unexpected camaraderie with fellow travellers, and his motivations for taking this journey on.
You can follow Jamie’s adventures play out via his instagram – @j.a.hargreaves (https://www.instagram.com/j.a.hargreaves/) and also on his facebook page. (https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=jamie%20hargreaves)
