Pendle People Online

Blind man cycles 804 miles across Europe on solo bike

The grossly exaggerated headline on the left was the splendid Page One writeup by the Lancashire Evening Telegraph. The headline above was what should by rights have appeared in the Nelson Leader (see comment below)

The miserable Nelson Leader gave us a passing mention on page 15, with an out of date photo and no mention of Wolfram's great achievement. The week before we left, their headline news was 'Blind Man cycles from Halifax to Nelson on back of Tandem' - when asked why this was bigger news than a blind man doing 804 miles on a solo bike, they said "Well you see we didn't know if it was legal." This says it all about the hypocritical pathetic Nelson Leader.

A researcher from Channel 4 went part of the way with us and filmed us for an edition of the Real Holiday Show which was on tv later that year. I have posted our 7min slot on You Tube and you can see a slideshow from our photographs here
