After nine months of blizzards and forest fires, close encounters with wild bears and gruelling mountain passes, record-breaking Scottish cyclist Mark Beaumont yesterday crossed the finishing line of his latest epic journey from Alaska to Argentina.
Beaumont, 27, began his journey in Anchorage, Alaska, in May last year and, after cycling an average of 75 miles a day and crossing 12 countries, he arrived in Argentina at 12.30pm local time yesterday. The trip is one of the longest unbroken land journeys on earth.
