And we’re back! With this update we cover weeks 12 and 13, finding ourselves in Shyroke, having passed through kyiv and headed towards Eastern Ukraine.

We remain just under 200 miles behind our target. Let’s keep it under 200 miles, but please don’t injure yourselves doing so!

The gap has increased another 23 miles but worry not, Matt and Tom back in action. Unfortunately, we all need to pray on Johnny E’s leg (similar to Beckham’s foot), as he has declared himself temporarily out of action.

And the maps. below. Maybe I’ll start plotting our target on the map too.

It felt wrong to post more Streetmap views of this beautiful country, pre-war. So here are a couple of pictures of the nearest town to our location.

Take care all and keep it up.

Mega Challenge: Week 10

Slava Ukraini. Last week we entered the largest country so far, the beautiful Ukraine. We find ourselves near Hulivka (a tiny country village), running along one of the straightest, most beautifully paved roads we’ve seen. Picture below.

We’re still a little behind target, but I have a good feeling about the upcoming weeks.
