Starting to cycle around the world from London

Pablo//1 min

We had just quit our jobs and left the flat we were renting in Manchester. We took the train we had previously booked to London, that way we had a departure date and the obligation, no excuses to delay it would be acceptable. We started our adventure on 8th January 2014, our New Year’s resolution.

During a couple of days we cycled and walked around London, last urban stop during our period living in England; and we met some interesting Warmshowers hosts!

London is cold in Winter!

Good night, London

And we started to cycle OUT of London!

3 days later the real trip started, we left the last “known place” and we cycle out of London direction to France.

Cycling in winter could be hard, but we felt ready and eager to embrace this adventure and test ourselves.

    I am looking forward to catching up with your blog starting with post no. one. Interesting you started in March brrr! I plan to set out on my own adventure to visit my sis in Australia - when my dog shuffles off this mortal coil (He's very old and 'on his last legs' according to the vet). Have a similar bike - though mine is an older version I picked up second hand. Got most of the gear and ready to go. Am envious of you both and hope I can do it too!

      We actually started on January 2014! From England! It was quite cold... but we were happy to ride South, Spring arrived early once we crossed the Pyrenees into Spain.

      Welcome Rajesh, We haven't travelled in India, we would love to, but we don't want to take flights and the route overland is almost impossible for visa reasons. Enjoy your travels!
