Peter Gostelow is taking a well-earned rest after a three-year stint in the saddle that took him through 30 countries, including Iran and Afghanistan.
Despite wobbling through war zones and treacherous terrain, the worst challenges he faced were sunburn, food poisoning and just 20 tyre punctures.
Even when his bike was stolen in Nepal and sold for £10 he soon recovered it with the help of locals. The cyclist thought up the idea after finishing his job teaching English in Japan.
'I've travelled before but it has always been by plane. I felt like I was in a capsule and wasn't experiencing the world properly,' he said.
But his welcome home after the £6,000 trip was slightly delayed. Arriving in Dover, he cycled to Dorset to see his mother - only to find she had moved to Surrey.
