Bah! You didn’t get very far!

Uh oh… You didn’t make it! You couldn’t hack the cold, rubbish food, or having to talk to grumpy strangers all the time. And that’s all before you left the UK! Nope, this kind of adventure is not for you! Never mind - maybe go on a relaxing beach holiday instead? Have another go if you want to get a bit further!

You got about halfway!

Ok - you had a good go at this! You managed to leave the UK (maybe the hardest bit) and crossed a few borders before you got bored and went home. If you really wanted to finish it you probably could have… but you have better things to be doing with your time! Have another go if you want to get a bit further!

You almost did it!

Well done! You got really far across Europe! You really started getting into the swing of this challenge, and have proved that you could do it with a bit more planning and preparation. In the end though, you got food poisoning from an out of date German sausage, and had to go home. Better luck next time!

You made it! Well done!

You did it! Ryan Trahan would be proud! You managed to cross the whole of Europe by bartering, swapping things, working odd jobs and blagging lifts. Congratulations! Now… how are you going to get home?
