Steve Hall completes his amazing journey and plans the next trip
A huge congratulations to Steve Hall for completing his marathon trip to visit all 92 league grounds in England and Wales, which took 127 days in the saddle. He finished at the famous Upton Park home of West Ham United and was greeted by lots of press to promote his message to not forget the refugees of this world.
Despite all the trials and tribulations of his trip, including a serious accident, Steve has really fallen for “the sport, hobby, method of transport, insanity or however you consider cycling” and he’s now planning for the next series of adventures.
He says “I am already planning the next stage of this project and am looking to ride from the very north of Norway to the very south of the country in 25 days next summer. That’s over 100 kilometres per day through some of the most challenging landscapes in Europe. Then, it is “The Big One.” I intend to cycle from Spain through Europe and up to Norway to meet Bjørn Heidenstrom who was the man who inspired me to get involved in the whole project. Then it’s a Trans-Atlantic cruise liner (spinning in their gyms, of course!) before a trip of a lifetime cycling from New York through Mexico, Central America and on to Brazil for the 2014 World Cup finals! This will be a two year challenge and one which I trust will end with Spain retaining the World Cup they won in South Africa this summer.”
