A few years ago, I went on a really long bike ride on my own. One of my tutors at college had told me about a rare falcon which had given birth to some chicks. It had a nest on the side of a cliff, and birdwatchers were really gathering there to see it. I decided to see it too, even though I wasn’t really interested in birds. I wanted to go on a bike ride, and this gave me something to aim for. I took a route via several beautiful beaches. The scenery was really pretty. I remember that it was very hot and I got sunburn across one side of my body. I don’t remember much about the falcon. I couldn’t see it very well because I didn’t have any binoculars. What I remember most is how much I travelled. It was about thirty miles to the cliff each way, but because of my roundabout route, I probably cycled over eighty miles there and back. That’s the most I’ve ever done in a day.
