Cycling Ireland to Australia (Part 2): Big Moments | Fergal Guihen

This is part 2 of Fergal Guihen's travel adventure from Roscommon, Ireland to Sydney, Australia. You can listen to Part 1 here. 

In Part 2 of his ride from Ireland to Australia, Fergal Guihen shares what it took to push through freezing nights in China, a terrifying attack and being suspected as being a spy in Iran, discovering Afghanistan, and tackling the Ha Giang loop in Vietnam. 

Fergal also speaks about how he has dealt with the loneliness he has felt many times on his journey and how doing what he says he is going to do like cycling to the top of Mt Bromo in Indonesia, has given him the confidence to continue his journey all the way to Sydney.
