1) A bike ride from Alsager in UK to Wengen in Switzerland

In October 2012, Paul decided to cycle the Trans Pennine Trail (TPT) from Southport to Hornsea. Click Here for TPT website  The route was 217 miles but with slight detours to hotels, shops or simply getting lost, the distance covered was actually 231 miles. The journey was completed in 4 days and was a great sense of achievement. Here are a couple of photos:

Day 1 - Runcorn Bridge

Day 4 - Humber Bridge

On a holiday in Australia the following month, Tom & James congratulated their dad and asked what his next big bike ride was. "How about cycling from Alsager to Wengen?" they joked. And then the idea started......

After studying maps and cycle routes, the idea became a plan for sometime in the summer of 2013. Watch this space!
