Loved both of the long ways and watching by any means made me even more jealous. Would love to be able to do something like this. About 3 years ago I was planning a trip to Canada to kayak the fur trade route about 2000miles. Unfortunately money or lack of meant I couldn't do it.

If you like stories like this you really should give The Moonshine Mule by Tom Fremantle a good read. Its about this guy who walks from Mexico to Manhattan (2700miles) with a Mule. Absolutely amazing book and fantastic story of human generosity and endurance.

Incidentely Tom Fremantle also rode a bicycle from Swanbourne, England to Swanbourne Austrailia it took him 17months he also wrote a book called Johnny Gingers last ride.
