A man to ride his bike from the Wales to Morocco following Swallows

Ed Beverlry-Jones, a 43-year-old man who lives in Chepstow, a town in Monmouthshire, Wales, adjoining the border with Gloucestershire, England will ride his bike all the way down to Morocco following Swallows, a family of passerine birds found around the world on all continents except Antarctica, reports South Wales Argus, a local online newspaper. 

Ed is planning to travel perusing the birds’ autumn journey to Africa passing through England, France, and Spain. «I watch and communicate with them (swallows) all summer and then in the autumn I watch as they prepare their fledged young to make the journey to Africa», he said.

«I started wondering about where they go and decided, well why not, I’ll follow their route to Africa. I haven’t been to Africa before. I plan to follow their course all the way there and as soon as I set foot in Tangier in Morocco I’ll head straight back.»

Ed is raising funds through his journey to support St David’s Hospice, A local charity providing hospice care to adult patients.
