Default Mad Man!

"One wheel will be better than two for a Shropshire man when he jumps on
a unicycle to ride down The Wrekin. Bob Griffiths is raising hundreds of
pounds for the MS Society through the event."

The Wrekin is a Shropshire Hill, about 400m high. Most people I know
wouldn't ride down it on two wheels.

Good luck to him. Is he not riding up it?

I recall a lad recently rode up (and presumably) down Snowdon for charity
not so long ago.

The Llanberis path is not a route I particularly fancy riding down but I
guess it's easier to stop/jump off a unicycle and it only goes as fast as
you pedal!

We have a guy here who *commutes* on a unicycle from Princetown,
which is a little higher than 400m.

Though he did say he also has the option of two wheels.
