Mark Beaumont Cycling the Americas Blog

The latest pictures from Mark's journey are available on flickr. The arid desert landscape of Peru is part of the focus from the latest collection of snaps as we catch a glimpse of Mark's new world.

Anyone notice something odd about the composition of this photo re sunset and where the bike is?

Find the full set from Ecuador and Peru on Mark's flickr photostream, and if you are new to the journey why don't you take a look back at the full collection of pictures from the beginning of the journey.

A massive thank you to everyone who took part in this year's Children in Need appeal. It was a fantastic effort from everyone involved, cycling some huge miles and raising thousands of pounds for Children in Need in the process.

You more than caught up with Mark. We counted 21,079 miles cycled by Scotland, and £4,946 raised for BBC Children in Need as part of the challenge!

Well done!
