Cycling Ireland to Everest Base Camp: 40 Days In
from Seek Travel Ride · host Bella Molloy
Daragh Cronin is 40 days into his solo cycling expedition from Ireland to Everest Base Camp, and I sent him four questions via Instagram to find out how it's actually going.He talks about the send-off from Cork that genuinely blew his mind, how it compared to the low-key departure for his West Africa ride, and why the first two weeks on the bike were so much harder than he expected. He gets into the reality of solo wildcamping for the first time, hitting big milestones across Europe, and a very special stop in Germany to see the man he cycled more than half of Africa with.Daragh's route to Everest Base Camp is also currently under a cloud with the war that's broken out in Iran putting his planned route through Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Oman into doubt. He doesn't have answers yet. Istanbul is where it gets real.You can also watch the new Daragh YouTube video on our Seek Travel Ride channel.Here's the link to Daragh's Africa episode .Follow Daragh via his instagram @roaminwithCronin for his latest updates.
