In this episode I talk with Josh Garman who recently cycled across England with E.T, the little alien dude from the 80s.
He decided to cycle 600 miles across England to raise money for a charity called Hope for Hasti. You can find out more about the cause here www.justgiving.com/campaign/hopeforhasti.
We talk about what inspired him to have an adventure on the bike, why the charity is important to him and how he toured 600 miles on a mountain bike with little previous experience of riding big miles.
It was a pleasure to talk with Josh and the whole time we were talking I had a smile on my face. He really brings to life why he did the trip and how he had to get creative to make it happen with such short notice.
I hope the story puts a smile on your face over the Christmas period and hopefully it inspires some of you to have a bike trip of your own. If you'd like to donate to Hope for Hasti I know Josh would greatly appreciate it.

One last thing, Josh and I nearly lost most of the audio due to a technical issue and from minute 25 the audio changes slightly. Hopefully it's not too noticeable!
Thanks all, I hope you enjoy it.
