A new 100-day tour takes in 32 destinations in 13 countries, but prices are not cheap It's one thing to dream up a 100-day train journey around the world. It's quite another to make it happen - and then justify the £112,900 price tag. Just ask Jim Louth, the man behind the new Adventures by Train itinerary, which promises to carry 12 guests from London to Tokyo, across the Pacific to North America, and back again via the Queen Mary 2 - all without boarding a single plane.

I didn’t know I was in a nature reserve behind a Wagamama when the security team at Rushden Lakes Shopping Centre in Northamptonshire interrupted my wild camp and politely insisted I move on. I eventually spent the night a few hundred metres away, in a field beside a dual carriageway. Sleeping rough wasn’t out of necessity, but I got used to moments like this during the 26-day responsible trespass and wild camping trip I embarked on last summer.

It was about seven minutes into my cycle ride that the first signs of addiction became apparent. My ebike’s “power assist” button felt more like a morphine clicker as we climbed the misty hills of Bucovina in northern Romania. Sergiu, my group’s guide, knew what I was up to. “Be honest with yourself – only use ‘turbo’ if you have to!” he shouted. My thumb cowered under the handlebar. On previous adventures I’ve resisted assistance, maintaining that battery power is the preserve of the unserious.
