Starting in late 2008, Paul Sutton and Becky Wood will be riding from Sydney, Australia to Brighton, England.  The planned route will take us through parts of Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine and Central Europe, using only pedal power (and boats/planes to cross large bodies of water, of which there are only 3!) 

We hope to raise a substantial sum of money in aid primarily of Marie Curie Cancer Care, in memory of my closest friend, Vickie Herald, who died very suddenly in May 2007 aged 27 from multiple forms of cancer. 

This site will include maps of our planned route (which I am sure will suffer many changes), some information about the countries that we will travel through, and an online diary with photos and movies clips that will be updated while we are on the road.

If you are interested in sponsoring or would like any further information please contact Becky at becky@thelongridehome.co.uk
or Paul at paul@thelongridehome.co.uk

****Unfortunately we have had to stop the ride and return to Palmwoods due to Paul's fractured wrist requiring surgery... see the blog for more information****
