We’re passionate about cycling and always up for an adventure, so after a year of sitting inside and working from home we wanted to challenge ourselves to do something a little different this summer. 

We will be attempting to cycle 5000km across Europe within 90 days - COVID restrictions willing - from London to Istanbul (or equivalent- we might have to make some route adjustments along the way or start some of the miles in the UK).

We want to use this opportunity to support Rewilding projects in the UK. Rewilding is an approach to habitat restoration that reestablishes wildlife and declining ecosystems by giving the natural world the space it needs to bounce back and flourish on its own. 

Rewilding Britain aims to restore ecosystems in the UK to reverse the decline of nature and the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate breakdown. They do this by publishing research, petitioning government and influencing policy and legislation change, as well as supporting and inspiring landowners and communities to put rewilding into practice. 

We hope that this slow travel will reconnect us with wildlife and the natural world, while raising awareness of the important role wilding can take in the protection of our environment.
