In 2005, Cliff Jones began a journey round Britain on a unicycle, a bike with only onewheel. He had already made a documentary film about his experiences travelling roundEurope in a 50-year-old car. He was mad about motor sport and had a job building racingcar engines. To save money, Cliff rode to work in London on an old bicycle, which he alsoused to go to France on holiday. ‘That trip opened my eyes,’ he says. ‘I decided to do atour of Britain by bike.’

Cliff didn’t want a normal touring bike, and he knew he wanted to build one himself. After one false start in 2004, when he had to turn back because of a knee injury, he finally set out in 2005. He was away for four months, and travelled over 8,500 km.

The best bit of the trip was arriving in Wales and seeing Mount Snowdon. ‘Although I met cyclists who could easily ride up mountains on their bikes, which I couldn’t do, I never regretted my unicycle.’

His worst moment came when he had to drink some dirty water from a stream. A serious fever kept him in bed in hospital for five long days. He was determined not to give up and go back home before he had completed his challenge, but found it hard to carry on because he felt so weak. Yet despite all this, Cliff now says, ‘If I could afford it, I would do something similar again.’

When did Cliff Jones begin his journey round Britain on a unicycle?
