David Charles and Georgie Cottle travelled 1491 miles and raised £55,000 for a refugee charity. David said they wanted to raise awareness of the "artificial barriers that are thrown up to prevent refugees from getting on with their lives."
Although the route was completed by two cyclists, a team of 30 kept them going and David said success was down to "hundreds of ordinary people doing a little something to help. Whether it's a shop keeper in South Brent giving us free snacks, a group of hikers on top of Ditchling Beacon emptying their purses in to our collection buckets... we won't ever forget that moment when we swooped down from the clifftops and in to Dover, bike bells ringing, to be met by a cheering crowd."
what do you see in the photo, where is it?
- how have the letters been drawn?
- what do they spell?
- David and Georgie wanted to break the record for the largest GPS drawing; they could have drawn anything. The current record by an individual is held by a Japanese man who created a "Marry Me" GPS drawing to propose to his girlfriend. Why do you think David and Georgie chose to spell out the words "Refugees welcome"?
- David talks about "artificial barriers that are thrown up to prevent refugees from getting on with their lives." what does he mean?
- why do you think they chose to do the cycling along the south coast of England?
- They talk about hundreds of people along the way helping them; what does this show about many people today in the UK and attitudes towards refugees?
- what can we learn from David and Georgie?
- why is this about No Outsiders?
