Kevin Shannon - A Zero Emissions Odyssey

Over the course of the next three years, Kevin Shannon will be pedalling his bike across six continents, covering 40,000 miles in the process, and sailing across both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, adding another 10,000 aquatic miles to the trip. The journey began in the UK, and will extend across Europe and Asia, before turning south to Australia. After hugging the Australian coastline, Kevin Shannon will board a ship and sail to South America, where he'll return to the bike and turn north. The route will take him through Central America, Mexico, and eventually into the United States, where he'll ride coast-to-coast, before he boards a ship once again, to sail to North Africa, where he'll get on his bike one last time, and make the return trip back to the UK.

During the journey he'll pass through extreme sub-zero temperatures, scorching heat and face thirst, hunger and physical and mental exhaustion.
