A superfit football fan has traveled to South Africa for the World Cup -- after cycling, swimming and running all the way from Cirencester.Rob Forbes set off on the mammoth 11,800-mile journey last October and has just arrived ready to watch England play.
The freelance ecologist and Spurs fan says he took on the challenge - the world's longest triathlon - to raise money for a charity which ships secondhand bikes to Africa.
He cycled through Europe before swimming the Strait of Gibraltar and then competing in a 56 mile marathon this weekend… and to think we'll just be going to the pub to watch the games.
Speaking of his journey Rob said: "I've finally made it to the promised land of SA.
"Cycling every inch of the way, bar a bit of swimming, running & enforced boat rides, it’s been an incredible adventure and the excitement certainly isn't over yet…"
Rob says he hopes to raise £1 per km (£19,000) for Re-Cycle and has already got to almost £16,000.
