Bishop Lee has now raised more than half his target of 10,000 and you can still sponsor him at uk.virginmoneygiving.com/LeeRayfield.
Bishop Lee has been keeping everyone up-to-date with a daily blog post. In his final post he says: "Thank you so much for all the messages of support, for the prayers, encouragement and donations so far. We give thanks today for safe arrival, for strong bodies and no punctures!"
He also pays special tribute to his companion Mike: "It would have been impossible without Mike Palmer. He has been a true star in this venture, always ready to do the most menial tasks to support me and always thinking one step ahead.
Mike has spent hours working out the route and then adapting it as we went along; his contribution has been magnificent with reliability and unflappability as his middle names."
