“If you have a big idea just go out and give it a go, you will be surprised how much you are able to do,” he said.
The adventurer, who set off on the 14-week challenge from Dorset on April 1, has completed the cycling leg and will be running as far as Brighton, averaging 35 miles a day, before taking the plunge for the final 110-mile swimming section.
