Yesterday Chris smashed another marathon and led us to Horlivka, north of Donetsk. We’re still over 250 miles behind, but the gap is not insurmountable, yet.

There’s no Streetview on Google maps anymore, probably for security reasons. So I can’t show you where we are exactly.

Instead, here’s a picture of Chris not wearing any orange, looking far too fresh for my liking.

Here’s how everyone is progressing…

And the maps.

Keep it up everyone.

Barring a few large cities, the parts of Ukraine we’ve seen so far have been incredibly sparsely populated. This week is no different, as the landscape appears even more rural than ever as we enter Lesivka, in the Kharkiv Oblast. The village names on the map give the appearance of countless communities, but each name represents just a handful of houses. I suspect this will be common moving forward.

In raw numbers we remain over 200 miles behind our target, but Tom’s got his bike out, so I’m optimistic.

Of course the maps.

I’m still going to refrain from posting streetview shots until we’re outside of Ukraine. Doesn’t seem right.

Keep up the good work.

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!

Another week, another 165 miles covered. We find ourselves in Bilokorovychi, northern Ukraine. About to hang a right on this empty road…

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.

How are we all doing?

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.
