REUTERS: Two rugby fans and amateur cyclists from England set off on a 6,000 mile journey from London to Tokyo on Thursday with the aim of arriving in Japan in time for the Rugby World Cup in September while raising money for charity along the way.
"And then the chance to raise some money as well. We're raising money for the Movember Foundation and the Ian Williams Foundation and we are looking to raise 30,000 pounds." Self-sufficiency will be key for the duo who have undertaken the journey with nothing more than their bikes, tents, utensils and camera equipment."The only things that we need to resupply along the route are food and water. So as long as we got those two things we should be good to go," Cook said.
Their route is expected to take them through mainland Europe after which they will pass through Turkey, Georgia, Kazakhstan and China.
