“It might not seem a difficult task, but we were riding for between ten and fourteen hours a day for a fortnight. The strong winds and heavy rain most days made riding more challenging than usual. Anyone who has seen the series ‘The long way down’ will know how demanding this amount of riding is both mentally and physically. "
