England

After 8 weeks, about 8,000 miles, 287hrs, 15mins actual travelling time, 1 boat, 8 buses, 3 pick-up trucks, 11 trains and 12 completed challenges later, I finally make it home to England. It’s great to be back! I haven’t been home in almost 3 and a half years, mainly working in Thailand in that time but also travelling a fair and not just on this trip.

I hoped as a Grande finale to the trip to break a world record. This would hopefully give much needed publicity to this trip and therefore to the reason why Dragonfly did all this, the children affected by the tsunami, still so much in need of our help even after nearly 2 years. Unfortunately trying to organise 1000 people to attempt the World’s Largest Wheel Barrow race hasn’t been as easy as I’d hoped. Not because we couldn’t find the people but instead finding a suitable venue. We will still be attempting the record, sometime in the New Year most likely.

I have been in England for almost a month and away from my work for over 3 so it’s time to pack my bags and get back to my new home, Thailand. Once arrangements have been made I will come back to attempt the record, or perhaps we may attempt it in Thailand.

I would just like to say a massive thank you to all of you that supported this trip. Many people gave up their time, and effort to help us. Lots of money has been raised so far, just over £4000. I know that we will raise the rest with your support.

Thank You.
