Let's cycle there!


 

Adam and I are at students at Durham University with a third housemate, Simon who decided he was going to work as a charter skipper for a yacht company in Southern Italy for the summer. During his time off he decided that a group of us should use it as an opportunity for a holiday, sailing amongst the islands around Sicily.


 

‘Let’s cycle there’ said Adam after a few beers and having heard the news. We typed the destination into Google, clicked on ‘Get Directions’ and decided that it didn’t look too far on a computer screen. Of course there was the small matter of over 2000km to cycle with some hilly bits in the middle and an overriding issue of neither Adam nor myself having any biking experience whatsoever. We didn’t even have enough bikes to do the job on!
