Round the world by bike: Alastair’s quest for adventure began young. Aged 8, he completed the 26 mile Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge and at 14 he cycled off-road across England . Longer distance cycles while at university led up to a round the world trip of epic new proportions.
In a journey which Sir Ranulph Feinnes described as ‘The first great adventure of the 21st Century’, Alastair rode from England to South Africa , crossed the Atlantic by yacht and then cycled from Patagonia to Alaska . Crossing the Pacific by freighter, Alastair completed his expedition by cycling back to England from eastern Siberia.
