This is Nina's Postcards Chapter
(Updated August 17th)

Nina has been eMailing progress reports from CyberCafes
whenever time and cash allowed, as they followed her father's route
of exactly 50 years ago.
They are Back home now,
50 years on the dot!
Well done both!


They're back where they started
outside Nina's house in Turnchapel


Nina's map's beyond the help of sellotape!

The 1953 itinerary
( Map "borrowed" from the news item on BBCDevon page)

This is the route that Roy and Gordon took in 1953; Nina and Simon
followed it as closely as possible.
Copyright © 2003 Nina Jenkin.

The tour took it's toll of the intrepid travellers and their mighty machines.
Simon ended up with only one of his gears actually working
and a spoke about to ping through the wheel rim.

Nina's map has seen better days but then it lasted right to the end,
to see the last of the 2250 miles they cycled.
