I just got back from John o’Groats after a little unicycle ride:858 miles of unicycling in 6 days, 8 hours and 43 minutes. (see daily reports and pictures of the ride at the blog)I rode with Roger from Unicycle.com, and we were supported by Paul Royle. Charity donations are gratefully received for Wake Up! Ministries in […]
This should be the last episode in my Chronicles of the Clavicle. I first broke mine in April by falling from my unicycle at speed. I then let it heal, started riding the unicycle again, and then re-broke it with a minor fall in June.
Today I had the best visit to the Fracture Clinic ever.
In […]
Some quick answers:
This was me, in see-through mode, on Saturday 4 April.

It was my fancy, new KH Schlumpf 36″, but that wasn’t the cause (wasn’t going any faster than I would have done otherwise, around 30kph on the flat).

The long awaited movie of my World Record unicycle ride. Thanks Jonny!
Woo - I have done all of the essays, assignments, project work, revision, exams and last-minute cramming required to say: I’ve finished my degree!

Today I went on a train journey. I think I stayed within the rules too, but I didn’t half feel guilty and paranoid for much of it!
First, some highlights:
Discovering that I can run from the platform (oh yes, there is only one) of Aberystwyth station to my house and back again in under 4 […]
Just the place name is enough to justify visiting it. Eisteddfa Gurig is 17 miles from Aberystwyth on the A44, and is about 420 metres above sea level. Just about high enough to still have the random snow of Sunday morning unmelted by 3pm. I made a quick snowball (not quite as […]
The conspiring factors of having stupid amounts to do on final-year university work and my inability to make myself do it when I should are making me think more than usual about The Big One (my emphasis). How about this for a 20 000 mile jaunt: through Europe, Asia, Australasia, South America, Africa and […]
Mark Beaumont has completed an 18000 mile route around the world to return to Paris, where he started 195 days ago. See the BBC’s Pedaling Around website about his trip.
Congratulations Mark!
Now there’s an idea…
