We were recently asked if we could assist a friend of a friends son who is currently cycling from London to China, our friends kindly asked if I could make available their holiday villa in Bulgaria, in our village available for him to rest up for a few days before he continues his journey.

This we have done and he is now ready, after a good refresh to continue on his next target is Istanbul, by 16th July.

So I am passing on the info, so if any of you have or are willing to give him a place to rest up for one night, to help with his journey, I am sure he will be pleased to accept.

We have entertained him for the past 4 days and can assure you he is a very pleasant and responsible young man and you can read his blog at :- [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I have laid out his next stages below, so if you are on that route or nearby (he is willing to make slight detours for a break) you can call him on

Next stages
Friday 12th July Leaving Kavarna (North Black sea) heading for
Burgass -- Pomere – Sosopol –Lozenenets – Ceravo
On the Bulgarian side
If you have any contacts on the Turkish side, please pass on the info

I am sure you will agree this is an incredible fete, and ay assistance we expats can offer will be really appreciated

Many thanks in advance

Wow ... that's some bike ride! Good luck to him.

It would be nice if any members could offer him an overnight.

Nice one Bill - well done to the young lad . Now can I put this on the Facebook groups?

Hi Berni
I do not thin k it would be a problem, I understand his mother is on FB! so something might be up there?
Have already had offers of some accommodation, so have passed on the details. :Thank you:to those who have come forward.

Cheers
Bill

we are in Straldja always willing to help a clean bed and food etc available any time good luck to him it's a gret ride hope he has sponsers for some charity
let us know if we can help

Hi Chrissybg

You could always give him a call +447951894600.
I am not sure of his exact location. I know he left Burgas 1300 Saturday and had reached his next destination after that, so from his itinerary he should be making for Lozenenets??

He is doing this out of his own pocket for his own satisfaction, no sponsors or fund raising

Cheers
Bill

Lozennets is the next village to our town so he will not progress far from there to here but we will call.
hope he does well

Thanks for the update Bill. That's a huge amount of miles he's done already.

Great news and well done to him he must be very proud to have got this far
