Around the world in 195 days! On a bike!

Back in August, I posted about Mark Beaumont - former pupil of a geography teacher friend - who was just setting out on his round-the-world cycle...

Well, today - just 195 days later - Mark has arrived back in Paris, smashing the previous record of 276 days!!

His former geography teacher, Val Vannet, has been blogging about the geography of Mark's journey - http://www.geobloggingwithmark.blogspot.com/... check it out now if you haven't already been following the journey!
