Mark Beaumont's Diary

Despite adding about 2kg to his overall kit weight, Mark carried a laptop, GPS tracker, three cameras and a voice recorder to help him document his journey.

He sent us text messages and phoned from the road and whenever he passed through civilisation, he popped into internet caf茅s to email pictures and videos.

4000 miles baby!

Mark Beaumont, Tuesday, 18 September 2007.

Just so you know, as of yesterday, Mark had cycled 4000 miles (from Paris) so is nearly a quarter of his way round already!

Mark was quoted as saying 'It's easy.' ;-)

Great work big man and good luck on the rest of your adventure!

I think it is brilliant what your are doing. I'm wondering what type of pace you maintain and how much your bike weighs loaded. It sounds like you monitor your heart rate as well. How much food do you keep on the bike ? Best of luck and if you within 200 miles of me I will personally ride there to cheer you on!

As a weekend cyclist I greatly admire your concept of a "real" Grand Boucle. Vive Votre Monde Tour!

Following you with interest - too much interest perhaps as I feel myself pulled towards a similar adventure in the light of the intense envy I feel. Good luck and keep us posted.
