To Everyone that sent their well wishes we really appreciated the comments and emails – Thanks. We are now in Mumbai and heading home. Not until we finished the Rickshaw Run did we realise how exhausting it had been – the last couple of days have been days to savour the accomplishment, but also catch up on sleep and time not stressed out by India traffic.
So thanks again everyone – this has been a truly memorable adventure. We have posted more photos, and for those interested in seeing more, plus the video, contact us direct and we will arrange that.
This trip could not be possible without support of family, friends and colleagues. Andrew wants to especially thank his family, his wife Nathalie, and children Zak and Sally, for being so supportive and letting him undertake such an adventure – he owes them BIG time! To everyone else, Thank You – we thrived on the support during the 2 week Run.
If you ever are considering such an adventure – think very hard about. It is not for everyone, it will test your endurance and ability to deal with incredibly scary and frustrating situations. But it will also teach you a lot about yourself, the people around you, and what great fortune you have in this world.
END OF BLOG
Andrew & Paul
Dear Andrew,
Congratulations to you and Paul for a remarkable accomplishment. I have been following your travels through your blog intermittently, with lot of respect and envy. You have seen more of India and Nepal in a fortnight than I have in my lifetime. And what a way to experience it!
Well done and warm regards,
Rajiv Dhar
Hi Ravi,
Thanks we had a great time – and seems like it was not that long ago we were about to start the Race from Gangtok – where we had such a great time staying at your hotel, Rhenock House. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Rhenock House and was the perfect place to prepare for the road ahead. Thanks again for all your help with our preparations.
I hope to get to Gangtok again one of these days – with my family and hopefully when the weather permits views of the mountains.
All the best,
Andrew
Paul (and Andrew)
Thanks for a very entertaining couple of weeks, we have thoroughly enjoyed travelling vicariously through Nepal and India over the last couple of weeks. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Do it again next year?
