Cycle trip. 1992.

I decided to cycle from Cumbernauld,Scotland to Euro Disney in France. I set off in August 1992 when I got to Manchester my bicycle was stolen from outside a shop. I lost all my clothes, maps
and other items which were in my saddlebags. Fortunately a stranger saw my jacket which on the
back had " cycling cumbernauld to eurodisney to help children " when he discovered my plight he immediately offered me a loan of his bike to complete my trip. He was a fireman and paid for me to
have a meal and accommodation a really great guy. Later on in Staffordshire a car ran into me, but
after an ambulance took me to hospital for a check up I was on my way again. After more incidents I arrived at Euro Disney near Marni de Valley in France, however my request to take a couple of photo's inside was turned down by Euro Disney staff. I was disappointed with their decision but I could do nothing so I set off for Scotland. In Manchester I handed back the bike,and got a bus back to Cumbernauld.
