How? - Planes Trains and Automobiles was our theme, 875 miles hitch hiking by road, 540 miles by a donated plane journey and 286 miles by a sponsored train ride.

The journey was amazing and only achieved in such a short space of time by the incredible kindness shown by all those people who helped us along the way.
