We’ve done it! We cycled into ShelterBox HQ in Helston at just after 11.30 this morning – with 10,775 miles (17,240km) on the clock.
The box arrives home!
Arrived to a big cheer, a Welcome Home banner – and champagne. So, are we there yet? Most definitely, yes!
We might even have a day off cycling tomorrow to celebrate… 😉
Tandem 10,000 
Congratulations, it has been a long time and many miles since we saw you in Wolf Creek Montana, one early September morning, the Rotarian from Atlanta GA. Followed you all the way.

Remember the place (and the meeting) very well. We have great memories of our time in the US. One day we’ll have to come back and cycle across some of the other states!
Cheers, Huw

Well done! I’ve been following you ever since we met one wet night in a campsite just short of Yellowstone. Very impressed.

Thanks, Dom. We enjoyed having a chat with a fellow Brit – and a chance to compare notes on those Americans! Hope your own journey went as well as ours. All the best, Huw

What next? Well, a couple of weeks holiday in Cornwall to begin… although as our car is still in storage the tandem isn’t going to be put away quite yet!

Huw & Carolyn,
Congratulations on a job well done! It seems a long time ago since you were in Armidale NSW Australia and it hard to imagine you’ve just kept ridding from then until now – a fantastic effort. Thanks for the great things you have done for Shelter Box world-wide – The members of the Rotary Club of Armidale A.M.

Phew, a hot afternoon in Bicchisano – what to do? I know, I’ll take a look at the facebook thing and … wow! You made it, you amazing, pedalling duo, what a brilliant achievement! Congratulations from us all – especially me, as I find the idea of cycling to the shops a bit of a challenge. WE hope to see you in the UK in the not too distant future, or are you off teaching in sunnier climes again? Love from Laura, Simon, Liam and two wwoofers, xx.
