In 1994, Jason Lewis and Steve Smith set out from London on an incredible round-the-world adventure. Their plan was to use only forms of transport that they could power themselves: kayaks, bicycles, skates, even a pedal boat! They couldn't drive or be passengers in a vehicle, so even hitchhiking wasn't allowed! They travelled across the English Channel to France in a pedal boat and then cycled across France to Portugal.

When did Jason and Steve start their adventure?

Jason and Steve wanted to use a pedal boat to cross the Atlantic Ocean! The crossing took 111 days and when they finally arrived in Miami, they were hungry and exhausted. Not surprisingly, they were also tired of each other's company. So they decided to cross the USA separately. Steve cycled and Jason skated. While he was skating to a town called Pueblo, a car hit him. It was more than three months before he was fit enough to continue his journey.

How long did the Atlantic crossing take?
