Why not set out on a human powered journey around the world. It ought to only take you 13 years or so. That's what Dorsetman Jason Lewis did aged 26 from Greenwich 13 years ago. He's almost home now. He's crossing the English Channel.
I'm all for travelling and seeing the world. It sounds like fun and something I'd do if I wasn't such a wuss when it comes to getting on an aeroplane. And if I had any spare money lying around. To actually do it under your own steam though just seems like unnecessary hard work.
On his journey, Jason broke both legs in the USA, chased by a crocodile in Australia, capsized in the Atlantic and was arrested in Egypt as a spy. I don't suppose that happens very often in rural Dorset.
The aim behind the trip was to promote environmental responsibility and encourage world citizenship. Since 1994 we have seen a huge growth in global terrorism, Serbia has had the shit bombed out of it, Iraq and Afghanistan are in a state of utter disarray, the US is on the look out for it's next show of military force - you can't help but think that he might as well have stayed at home.
