It's out of Serbia into Romania for Llan's three cycling heroes


* Getting ready to enter a dark road tunnel as they head into Romania.  

The three Llangollen area lads cycling to Thailand made it out of Serbia and into Romania on the latest leg of their mammoth journey.

Known collectively as The Westheads, Dyfan Hughes, 17, James Thomas, 18, and Louis Dennis, 18, had never ridden a bike further than the shop near their homes when they set out on their 18-month quest to reach Asia.

Once there they aim to meet up with their friend Harrison who moved to Thailand six months ago after his dad died from a heart attack and to raise money for heart research. 


* Next stop Romania.

Their daily video logo shows that on day 58 and in one of their last stops in Serbia the woman running the shop where they stopped for supplies offered to cook them their evening meal - which they reckoned was typical of the friendliness they had encountered in the country.

The following day saw them take a ferry over the river Danube and head onwards into Romania. Not long afterwards they were battling through pouring rain, which failed to dampen their spirits but did break Dyfan's mobile phone.  

Soon after crossing into the next country they had to go carefully around a pack of "massive" stray dogs.

Next problem they confronted was a broken pedal on one of their bikes, which they managed to temporarily fix with the help of a local.
