  • Ann Wilson

    Ann Wilson

    Ann retired from the telecommunications industry in 2009 and set off to see the world by bicycle. She travelled solo through 20 countries over 14 months and in the years since, has added over 18 more countries to the list. When not cycling, she likes to spend her free time walking the Lakeland Fells.

Event Details

At the age of 59, Ann decided that there was no time like the present and gave up her job to cycle round the world. Her first bike was stolen in Bulgaria, she was knocked down by a buffalo cart in India and battled with a parasitic illness in Malaysia. These were some of the challenges she had to deal with, but above all, what stood out for Ann was the depth of human kindness she experienced throughout her travels.
