Ferdinand II


Viadukt have kindly given me a post trolley for the trip.
The trolley has been modified, enabling me to pull instead of push. This will be a much more efficient movement allowing me to do more miles.

Many people have talked to me about the drawback of having a trolley on the trip.
-Less flexibility
-Problems if it breaks down
-Logistics difficulties

The list goes on.

However the trip is not just about exploring mountain tops.

It is about meeting people, going through villages and towns and getting to know local customs, traditions and cultures.


20 miles test run tomorrow, we'll see how he stands up
