TV viewers may be glued to the new series of Race Across the World – but one adventurous cyclist has just completed his own remarkable ride across the globe.
Nathan Hurley of Blackwood in Caerphilly county set off on his bicycle from Cardiff on 1 March – St David's Day – 2024.
More than 14 months, 26 countries and 16,250 miles (26,000km) later, he has arrived in Sydney.
The "exhausting" journey from south Wales to New South Wales is a "dream come true" for Nathan and has so far raised £4,000 for the Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) Trust.
