Simon’s Epic Global Cycle – for Epilepsy

Posted on 1 Jun ’12

Some still shots I also did when I filmed the mini-documentary of Simon Hutchinson which can be seen in the earlier post. Also a behind the scenes image.

As of today, the 1st June 2012, Simon is currently cycling across the United States.

Can’t believe the boathouse was largely funded by student donations as it cost a whopping €5 million. Some shots on the jetty and nearby and then we followed Alice in a separate boat. Clear skies and the river looked like glass at times. Beautiful.
