The Dunwich Dynamo
Experience a night-time journey from central London to the Suffolk coast, on a bicycle.
Every July on the Saturday closest to the full moon, thousands of cyclists ride overnight from central London to the Suffolk coast. It鈥檚 a journey like no other: setting off in the late evening from a bustling pub in Hackney, they cycle through the night and arrive as dawn breaks on Dunwich beach - a distance of around 120 miles.
We hear the sounds of cycling as the trip unfolds, from the mesmeric ticking of a freewheel to a spectacular swoosh as a group of riders zooms past. The surroundings become increasingly rural as we get closer and closer to sunrise, allowing nocturnal wildlife and the dawn chorus to make an appearance before we arrive at Dunwich鈥檚 famous shingle beach and meet the roar of the North Sea.
