In the very first week of their attempt to cycle around the world, Ellie and Mark tackle the frozen roads of Normandy and The Seine Valley in Northern France. A naysayer spurs them on, but some punctures and a little winter weather slows them down.

It's week 2 of Mark and Ellie's round-the-world cycle and they hit the 1,000km cycled milestone. They have a Valentine's night to remember, reach Strasbourg and the end of their time in France, and suffer incredibly cold toeses.
