Hunting for Roman aqueducts, learning the ancient Kanun laws of Albania, and meeting the Amazigh people of Tunisia. Cycling in remote parts of the most land-mined country in the world. Sandstorms, scorpions, midnight boars, real forests, and coming face-to-face with the climate and refugee crises. Cycle adventurer Mike shares a few tales of inspiring people, punctures, and some silly puns from his seven-month, 8,000km jaunt that involved almost 13 ‘Everests’ and an uncountable number of ice creams.
